I Just installed the new CentOSplus kernel package for CentOS 5

merely an oversight? I realize that including them in a server is
probably a bad idea, but I had been using CentOS 4 with the -plus
kernel
on my workstation to grab video from my Sony DV camera.  No
problem if
it's not going to be there, I can just build a custom kernel if it's
that important to me.

I submitted a request for the firewire support some time ago:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1909

So, hopefully it will be added...

It was overlooked ... I will add this (and anything else that we
find we
need) and respin the kernels for final release.

Sigh,
This is what I get for being excited and update my machine before
actually looking at the RPMs....

It appears that the jfs kernel module isn't built yet for the
CentOSplus kernel. So while fsck.jfs does work, I can't get Centos to
actually mount my jfs partition. Of course I may have screwed
something up, too.

I have  this line in /etc/fstab
/dev/md2                /export                 jfs
defaults        1 1

and when I do a mount /export
I get
mount: unknown filesystem type 'jfs'

uname -a
Linux fw.tarun.homeip.net 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5.centos.plusxen #1 SMP Mon
Apr 16 07:34:51 CDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any ideas?


I have one .. somehow, the JFS was not turned on in the x86 kernel ... let me respin the kernels with all the proper config files and turn on
firewire.

I'll get another kernel out today for testing

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

That's funny, I actually look at that last night, but since I moved from i386 to x86_64, I only looked at the kernel-xen i386.config file in the kernel SRPM and saw that CONFIG_JFS_FS=m. Now that I look in the x86_64 kernel, it is not set. I'm going to try and rebuild as well.. just for the heck of it.

Well I changed that, and rebuilt the rpms, and no love. rpm -qpl kernel or kernel-xen don't show any jfs components. kernel-debuginfo- common shows a bunch of jfs stuff but they are just .c files. No help there.

I guess I'll see what Johnny comes up with. Probably a more serious build bug. (FWIW, I just did a rpmbuild --bb kernel-2.6.spec after install the SRPM)
