[openMosix-general] OpenMosix 2.4.19-2 - problems ... again

[Sture L. <st...@ro...>]

One day gone without post showing up on openmosix-general list. So I try=20
again - here goes...

Hi,

I've been running a setup of LTSP and openmosix (LTSP server + 15
diskless clients) for a while now. It's all been working just great.

Until ...

Reading up on changes for the latest kernel patch I figured it to be so
promising that I decided to go for a kernel upgrade (problems regarding
tmpfs and MFS wasn't concerning my setup, or at least so I tought)

Well - surely this mail wouldn't go if it wasn't for - problems:

When booting a LTSP-client (openmosix-patched kernel 2.4.19-2, mfs
enabeled, no tmpfs but devfs and ramdisk enabeled) problem starts - the
system creates a ramdisk (no errors on mk2efs), mounts it at /tmp (still
no errors on console) copies files to /tmp - !BANG! _permission denied_
- system cannot copy files to /tmp...

Long way going this, but here goes - does 2.4.19-2 with MFS enabled
break ramdisk or devfs?

Also - shutdown of system is not possible (seems to be hanging on an
unmount) - what's causing this?

Anyways - server (same 2.4.19-2 patched kernel) boots fine and seems to
be much more responsive than earlier om-enabled ones. Would very much
like to keep it this way so ...

Help on how to solve these ones is much appreciated!

Regards,
Sture
