I have located the latest DECnet code "decnet-2.3.50.diff.gz" at Steve Whitehouse's ftp site (ftp://ftp.sucs.swan.ac.uk/pub/Linux/DECnet/ <ftp://ftp.sucs.swan.ac.uk/pub/Linux/DECnet/> ). I've downloaded Kernel 2.3.50 and patched the decnet portion. That all works fine. Looks like Kernel 2.3.50 doesn't have dapfs support.. so I'm going to have to try and manually patch the dapfs portion. Hope this works, Mauricio -----Original Message----- From: Mauricio Mejia Sent: June 13, 2000 12:38 PM To: 'Steve Whitehouse' Cc: lin...@li... Subject: RE: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42 So if I understand correctly. I could compile with experimental and be able to select DECnet OR I could download the latest kernel and manually attempt to put in the dapfs entries based on what in the 2.3.42 patch? > The dapfs patch really needs looking at again to fix the things which have > changed in the VFS, although you could try backporting the latest DECnet > code into a 2.3.42 kernel and see if that works for you, What is the latest decnet code? The newest one I see on the download page is Kernel patch for Linux 2.2.14 & dapfs pre-release <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/dnk2214.tgz> Which is much older than the 2.3.42 kernel. Is there another download site for the DECnet code that I am unaware of?

Subject: Re: [Linux-decnet-user] FW: Linux Kernel 2.3.42 Hi, the VFS layer in the 2.3 kernels has changed a lot. That dapfs patch for 2.3.42 almost certainly won't work with later kernels. On the other hand there have been several DECnet bugs which have been corrected since 2.3.42 so the latest kernels have better DECnet code. Did you say yes to the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL option ? At some stage I moved DECnet from being CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL to being a standard option in the network protocol configuration, but it may not have been until after 2.3.42, I really can't remember which version it was now. The DECnet network protocol is a seperate option to the dapfs filesystem whichever kernel you are running. The dapfs patch really needs looking at again to fix the things which have changed in the VFS, although you could try backporting the latest DECnet code into a 2.3.42 kernel and see if that works for you, Steve. > > Sorry.. damn ALT-S sent the e-mail. > > As I was saying.. does anyone have DECnet for working with DNMOUNT on any > kernel, and if so what patches did you apply?
