Cloop on Red Hat 9

Cloop on Red Hat 9

[Theewara Vorakosit]

Dear All,
	I want to create linux distribution on one CD, like Virtual
Linux. I try to use some compressed file system. I cannot use cramfs
because supported file size is too small. I try to use cloop but I cannot
compile on Red Hat 9 with kernel 2.4.20-19.9smp. Here is a error message:

cc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -s -I.

compressed_loop.c:202: too few arguments to function
`do_generic_file_read_Rsmp_5d257537'

Would you tell me how to solve this problem? Or, please suggest other
compressed filesystem that support large file size.
Thanks,
Theewara

I recommend you trying the latest Red Hat kernel from Rawhide. You can
download the kernel sources from:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS

look for a package called kernel-source*.rpm, download it, install it
and don't forget to run "make mrproper" before anything else.

Have a look at customising knoppix (which uses cloop), rather than
starting from scratch.

I use cloop_0.68-4.tar.gz sucessfully on redhat 9 (2.4.20-8smp)

I built it like:

make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4/ CFLAGS="-DREDHAT_KERNEL -O2"

Pádraig.

You could also use zisofs.
