I missed that bug report :) If you can send me the details of the failures we can probably add configure tests for any new ioctls that are causing build failures. > Since I don't have a Fedora system handy --- which header file are > things like "struct xfs_flock64" supposed to be defined these days? Hm, well, on my Fedora system, /usr/include/xfs/xfs_fs.h, from xfsprogs-devel. I don't think that has changed in a very long time... I also package an xfsprogs-qa-devel which has some additional pieces in it to support xfstests. Debian could do the same ... "make install-qa" in xfsprogs puts those bits into the root. -Eric > - Ted > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
