Samba Support for the DBox Neutrino

[PT-1]

Hi,

diese Diff's sind aus England von Speedy 2006

er hat mir noch folgendes zu den letzten Aenderungen wegen Samba Support im CVS mitgeteilt

@pt-1....
I have just looked at the changes to the CVS, and there is a very serious problem! Although the server and client user space support tools have been added, kernel support for SMBFS has not been included!

This renders all the tools useless unless the user customizes their kernel at compile time or uses an smbfs.o from the same kernel (previously compiled). Please get somebody to fix this.

The fix is extremely easy, just patch config so that:

# SMB_FS is not set
...becomes...
SMB_FS=y

The kernel will then do the rest automatically and include it within the image.

Hi PT-1 & Speedy2006,

thanks for pointing this out, obviously my note in den Makefile.am wasn't enough:

Code: Alles auswählen

...
# These user space tools require a kernel with smbfs
flash-sambaclient: $(flashprefix)/.part_sambaclient
$(flashprefix)/.part_sambaclient: $(flashprefix)/.flash samba
	$(INSTALL) -d $(flashprefix)/root/bin
	@for i in smbclient smbmount smbmnt ; do \
		$(INSTALL) $(targetprefix)/bin/$$i $(flashprefix)/root/bin; done
	@touch $@
...

As stated in the other thread, the point was to get a sambaserver running, and for this the smbfs.o-module is not needed. The kernel itself can be easily adapted, all you have to do is:
- cd tuxbox-cvs/cdk/linux
- make menuconfig ARCH=ppc
- scroll down and select "File systems"
- scroll down and select "Network File Systems"
- scroll down to "SMB file system support" and activate it as built-in
- save the config, cd.., rm .deps/linuxkernel, make linuxkernel
Or even simpler: do the steps Speedy2006 suggested. Anyway, I simply didn't see a point in stuffing another filesystem into the kernel. At least not for now, as the use for it is not clear. I would suggest to run some tests to see if smbfs is faster then cifs (or whatever). Once we know that, we can still include it in the default kernel config. WDYT?

Hi,

I hoped for an easier Fix than that ;-)

I will have a play later on but I am using Newmake so I can't guarantee that I get it working.

Hi,

the previous Diff's did not inlcude the locale settings

neutrino/system/locals.h and locals_intern.h

This File should now work ...

I am a Linux beginner so I am struggeling with the information given about changing the config file so maybe someone could just write me a few lines on how to progress on this one

rm .deps/linuxkernel
cd linux
make menuconfig
-->> When you are prompted to CONFIG_SMB_FS choose "YES"
cd ..

[Houdini]

Code: Alles auswählen

make menuconfig ARCH=ppc

please be exact

@PT-1

Da fehlt noch ein , bei locals.h - Neutrino baut sonst nicht *duck*

Ich gucks mir aber auch gerade mal an.

OK, I reported it back ;-)

Thanks to all for your patienece and I have to go back to the drawing board as I buggered by VM Ware Ubuntu ....

Habe ich versucht nachdem ich mein Ubuntu neu aufgesetzt habe ...

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/tuxbox/head/cdk/linux$ make menuconfig ARCH=ppc
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-ppc asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ubuntu/tuxbox/head/cdk/linux-2.4.33.3/scripts/lxdialog'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

>> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.

neuste diff gleich hier angehaengt

[liamcrayden]

@pt-1

apt-get install ncurses-dev
make menuconfig ARCH=ppc :)

[PT-1]

OK,

single steps ...

thanx to Liam the config Option now worked but now:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/tuxbox/head/cdk/linux$ cd ..
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/tuxbox/head/cdk$ rm .deps/linuxkernel
rm: cannot remove `.deps/linuxkernel': No such file or directory

based on this:cd.., rm .deps/linuxkernel, make linuxkernel info from above ..

[Coronas]

If the kernel hasn't been built, you don't have to delete the markerfile .deps/linuxkernel. It's sufficient to enter "make linuxkernel" in your cdk directory.

Did or does anyone have a solution to create the smbfs.o in newmake, I've tried the suggestions above with no luck

[PT-1]

I have at least updated my Links ;-)

Ich habe wenigstens meine Links erneuert ;-)

[Renwich]

hmm I managed to compile a smbfs.o

but now I get this error..??


insmod: kernel-module version mismatch
/lib/modules/2.4.35.3-dbox2/kernel/fs/smbfs/smbfs.o was compiled for kernel version
while this kernel is version 2.4.35.3-dbox2
