Hi,
Apologies in advance if this isn't the relevent forum for this query...
I'm currently working on getting the RedHat 7.x installer formatting my
filesystems with ReiserFS (unless mountpoint == "/boot"), but I'm having
some problems. What I'm doing is a total hack, I know. Basically I have
modified fstab.py in /usr/lib/anaconda/ in the stage2 install image. I
have modified makeFilesystems() just to use my mkreiserfs instead of
ext2. I also mountFilesystems() to mount with reiserfs where relevant.
I run the installer and all goes well, my partitions are formatted and
mounted in /tmp/sysimage correctly. Then the installer tries to load the
loopback install image, and something barfs. Here's my scribbled copy of
the relevent bits of the traceback. BTW. I was using a patched version
of linux 2.2.18 kernel (w/ ReiserFS patch, obviosuly).
image.py: line 63: isys.lochangefd("/tmp/loop", self.loopbackFile)
isys.py: line 55: _isys.lochangefd(loop, targ)
System Error(22, 'Invalid Argument')
Any ideas? I'm really just looking for someone intimate with the system
that can explain some of the bits I cant figure out. Like what is
lochangefd??
Thanks
