A new patch is attached. This is only build tested so far.
To build with this patch I had to do:
./configure --enable-werror \
--with-supermin-packager-config=$PWD/localyum.conf
where localyum.conf contains:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[local]
name=local
baseurl=file:///root/dvd1-redhatlinux/rhel9_x86_64/rpms/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(adjust the path to point to the Veritas DVD mount point)
I made various changes in this patch:
- Add copyright and license notice to list_vxvm.ml & vxfs.c. Please
ensure all files have copyright and license notices, and if necessary
get them checked by your legal.
- Change vm.ml{,i} -> list_vxvm.ml{,i}
- In packagelist.in, move package names to their own section.
- Remove perl/python packages as perl/python is not present in
the appliance.
- Fix commit message.
- Line length under 80 columns in a few places.
- Function names at start of line.
- List SOURCES_MLI alphabetically.
- daemon/listfs.ml: Remove comment about has_vxvm.
- do_vxfs_start -> vxfs_start (since do_* is reserved prefix in daemon).
- Skip vxfs_start if !vxdisk available, to save start up time.
- Add a prototype for vxfs_start.
- Don't use reply_with_error in vxfs_start, as we're not called
during protocol context.
- Use only one *err.
- Add daemon/list_vxvm.mli & daemon/vxvm_type.mli to .gitignore
vxfs_start has several issues which need to be addressed:
- Why does it return if a service (eg. veki) is not available? That
would prevent all further initialization.
- I think this would be better done as part of appliance/init, and
delete this function completely.
Rich.
