Greetings all, It is my pleasure to announce that the lio-core-backports.git tree containing the LIO v3.1.x 'out of tree' kernel module builds is now publicaly available! This tree allows the LIO code to run on any unmodified kernel from recent v2.6.3[1,2] stable kernels that are shipping with RHEL6, OpenSuse 11 and Ubuntu Lucid Lynx going back to v2.6.18 w/ RHEL5. The code is available via gitweb at: http://risingtidesystems.com/git/?p=lio-core-backports.git;a=summary This tree has been maintained for the last 8 months tracking upstream lio-core-2.6.git changes for Rising Tide Systems customers, and is now being made available as a service to the community. This tree contains the v3.1.x code for TCM/ConfigFS (Target_Core_Mod) and the LIO-Target iSCSI fabric module. This tree also includes a backport of the configfs filesystem, which is required in order for LIO to run on pre v2.6.27 kernels due to bugs in the handling of config subsystem in logic the original fs/configfs code that was fixed upstream fall 2008. Finally, the tree is capable of generating RPM and DEB kernel packages on many propular distributions. This tree contains complete support of all SPC-4 feature bits for Persistent Reservations and ALUA multipath. This same logic has been certified for VMWare VSphere v4 from multiple independent hardware vendors who are now shipping LIO v3.x code. Information has been added to LIO wiki download page at: http://linux-iscsi.org/index.php/Downloads and build README containing the mini-HOWTO is available here: http://risingtidesystems.com/git/?p=lio-core-backports.git;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD Best, --nab -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
