is mkreiserfs supposed to work properly with this snapshot? i can format a raw partition with ext3, no problem, i can then mount it, access it, bench it, you get the idea when i use mkreiserfs, i get an error telling me it can't make a device that small (0 blocks) and exits the people who now use reiserfs were those existing partitions? or did anyone successfully use mkreiserfs with this snapshot? if you DID use mkreiserfs, was this the binary snapshot or source snapshot? yes my last question is in regards to the (2) after the snapshot on the irc channels topic bottom line is, mkreiserfs --format 3.6 /dev/cobd3 fails due to 0 block size of cobd3 while mke2fs -j /dev/cobd3 works flawless and i can mount and enjoy this partition with ext3 on it thank you all in advance for any info on this |

Hello all, I'm trying to build coLinux from source. But am running into some issues. I have the 2.4.26 kernel ( http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.26.tar.bz2 ) and the 20040417 colinux snapshot ( http://colinux.org/snapshots/colinux-20040417.tar.gz ). Below is a transcript of the steps I did, using ellipses for brevity. I got two questions when applying the patch. The kernel seemed to compile OK, but is there any simple way to test it?

It seems that microsoft has recently released their compilers as Free Software, probably to promote Windows programmers. http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ I haven't read their EULA yet, but if it doesn't mean problems with GPL software, coLinux's binaries can be built with it. BTW, we only need their linker in order to build linux.sys along with a corresponding linux.pdb file. -- Dan Aloni da...@co... |

It actually assumes that the host didn't enable PAE. As long as the demand for it is low, it's also low in my long list of TODOs. However, the next release will check for PAE and refuse to work if it's enabled. -- Dan Aloni da...@co... |

the good news is apart from porting to coserial (which does not exist yet) conenction trapping is virtuall finished for both tcp and udp the bad new is the iptables featre i need seems to be broken on 2.4.26 i had previosly been testing on vmware because colinux at the stage was not shipping with the modules i needed the vmware system in question had a 2.4.20 kernel i checked it on anoter vmware system which i consider more sacrificial which has a 2.4.22 kernel and the iptables feature i needed worked fine i then upgraded that system to 2.4.24 and the feature i needed still worked fine (i picked .24 because it's midway between .22 and .26) tomorrow i will install 2.4.25 and try that once i have found the major kernel release i will then need to track it in more detail and hopefully find a patch i can reverse out --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Much superior to my approach, since you can effectively do everything all in one script, rather than relying on individual changes here and there throughout the system. This solution, although practical, does have one theoretical drawback: eventually we'll have fsck working again, and the fact that this approach requires us to modify the file system before checking it stinks a bit. We could duplicate the check, but that is redundant. The best long-term solution, IMHO, is to go with Sergey Okhapkin's suggestion (in this same thread) and find a way to make the colinux daemon "educate" the kernel at boot time that certain major/minor numbers devices are actually aliases for other ones (so, for example, we could make /dev/hdb1 and /dev/cobd2 become the same thing), but only when running in hosted -- not native -- mode. |

Attached are 2 files. 1 is an 'complete' build-colinux.sh, except that when I test it I get an error during the make of colinux-daemon.exe, having to do with unresolved externals. I've checked and I don't see why the unresolved externals should be happening. Anyways, maybe someone else can test and have success with the new build-colinux.sh... If anyone has an idea of what my unresolved external problem is that would be great. I'm attaching a bunch of make logs and ls outputs if you want to take a stab at it.

I have this successfully working using Win XP. What you need to do is share your LAN connection with the Win-TAP adapter. The DHCP server on your LAN shouldn't cause a problem because in this case, your LAN is the "internet" while your Win-TAP adapter is the LAN. FC1 will then get it's NAT'd IP address from the W2k box. -----Original Message----- From: col...@li... [mailto:col...@li...] On Behalf Of Robert Pang Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 4:59 PM To: col...@li... Subject: [coLinux-devel] NAT routing HOWTO? Hi folks I have set up colinux 0.6.0 with Fedora Core 1 on Windows 2000 workstation. I am using Wincap driver and FC1 is obtaining its IP address via DHCP to the DHCP server in the LAN. The W2k has its static IP address. I have been thinking about somehow "sharing" the same static with FC1. I don't think real sharing is possible. Instead, I am thinking about doing a NAT translation in W2k to forward ports (e.g. ssh port 22) to FC1. I suspect that it should be possible with Windows 2000 Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) but I had no luck enabling ICS in W2k. I read in the net that ICS won't be possible if there is already a DHCP server in the LAN. Does anyone how about this? And assuming that I succeed in setting up ICS, how do I set up NAT to forward port 22 from W2k to FC1? Thanks.

I've been having fun getting colinux to work on XP SP2 with AMD64. Generally it works... I have it stable with 256MB of RAM, but: 1. The XP SP2 firewall is a complete nazi so you'll have to do some fiddling to get ping/traceroute to work. (For some reason best known to Microsoft it opens the NetBIOS ports by default, but blocks most of the useful types of ping... the other way around would have made more sense to me, but whatever...) 2. I had to upgrade winpcap to 3.0 as the one that ships with colinux didn't work (3.1 doesn't work either but that's a beta so no surprise). 3. TAP-Win32 is nonfunctional (known bug - see http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=4b2b7f04.0404121135.7a0b6b08%40posting.google.com) 4. On AMD64 the DEP (Data Execution Protection) just completely barfs colinux. I'm not really up on how it works, but AFAIK it puts the processor into PAE mode and enables the NX (No execute) bit on all allocated memory, and to execute within memory you have to change the protection. With DEP enabled the machine reboots just after reading the config file (doesn't bluescreen or anything, just falls over). You can put executables into an exception list but it looks like colinux operates at too low a level for the exceptions to operate. Tony |
