Quota-patches for 2.4.20 conflict with evms (?)

Quota-patches for 2.4.20 conflict with evms (?)

[Lars Grobe]

Hi there,

just setting up a test machine, we got a recent kernel (2.4.20),
quota-patches
from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/testing/quota-2.4.20, the
newest evms (2.0.1) with the device-mapper patches (2.4.20-10).

When I make vmlinux, I get

fs/fs.o: In function `fsync_dev_lockfs':
fs/fs.o(.text+0x39f0): undefined reference to `DQUOT_SYNC'

, obviously a result from changes in the Quota-patches
05_quota-patch-2.4.15-1-2.4.16
that are to enable quota support for reiser.

So I wonder if anyone out there has been able to get reiserfs (3.x) with
quotas on
evms (2.x) - or am I really the first with this crazy idea?

CU Lars.

No, you aren't. I'm not exactly sure what the current status for the
quota patches for reiserfs unter linux 2.4 is, but the last time I
checked, you needed to upgrade the quota implementation (some macros
were renamed, like DQUOT_SYNC).

Did you get any rejects while applying the patches (look for .rej files
with find -name \*.rej)?

What patches did you exactly try to apply?

If the only problem is in fs/buffer.c:

The DQUOT_SYNC in fsync_super has to be changed to DQUOT_SYNC_DB.
The ones in fsync_dev and fsync_dev_lockfs into DQUOT_SYNC_DEV.

I assume that the evms code adds the VFS locking patch, which introduces
the function fsync_dev_lockfs, so I suppose you just need to change the
DQUOT_SYNC to DQUOT_SYNC_DEV in this file.

Thank you, the kernel compiled with that! (I will know soon if it works,
too...)

Ok, this should do it.
