Solved my own issue methinks, the name of the module that i am finding in drivers/md/ is linear.ko, not dm-linear.ko. that was unexpected. i note further that there are other non 'dm- decorated' lkms in md as well, such as multipath, faulty, raid0, etc. is there an implication associated with things decorated with dm- vs things not decorated with dm- in the md directory? tnx! johnu ________________________________________ From: dm-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [dm-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of John Utz [John.Utz@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 2:01 PM To: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: creating a dm-linear.ko in a current kernel. Hello; I have a linear device that i am attempting to harness to device mapper. My expectation that i developed based on my reading was that I could start from a dm-linear.c => dm-linear.ko and go from there. But dm-linear.c gets linked into dm-mod.ko, not dm-linear.ko. Has dm-linear always been part of dm-mod? i see some stuff on the net that implies the existence of dm-linear.ko, but i have poked around in menuconfig and i can find no specific entry to create it. Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. tnx! johnu -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
