Hi all,

Could some body let me know wrapfs sources which is compatible to Linux
2.6.18 kernel sources.

I tried to get sources using google search , but all are compatible with
latest kernel sources.

Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,

If I were you I would clone from
git://git.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/wrapfs-latest.git and checkout from a
commitid that is near to a release data of your kernel, that will
minimize the merge problems.

This one seems a good candidate:
http://git.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/?p=wrapfs-latest.git;a=commit;h=e478bec0ba0a83a48a0f6982934b6de079e7e6b3

But why are you force to use such and old kernel? Seriously, 2.6.18 is
at least 5 years old.

If you are forced to use this kernel by a vendor, then ask your vendor
for support. Sorry, the community can't help you when using forked
kernels.

Hope it helps,

wrapfs sources

[V.Ravikumar]

 Hi,
I ported latest wrapfs code compile against 2.6.18 kernel.
Now I'm able to build module ,but there my be bugs.
insmod of the file system module that was built was successful.
But when I do a mount (mount -t wrapfs /home/abc/lower /mnt/wrapfs) I'm
getting unknown symbol file system wrapfs error.

Here is file_system_type structure definition.
static struct file_system_type wrapfs_fs_type = {
        .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
        .name           = "wrapfs",
        .get_sb         = wrapfs_get_sb,
        .kill_sb        = generic_shutdown_super,
};

Also attached complete ported wrapfs sources which are compatible with
2.6.18 kernel.
I'm immature in kernel development so I'm requesting to help in resolving
unknown file system error.

Thanks,
Ravi.

insmod ?  that doesnt take care of module dependencies.

try modprobe, maybe preceded by depmod.
