This sounds like giving what the current our project is lacking. The followings are comments that I noticed for the moment: - There is a name mismatch between nilfs2_ss.conf and nilfs_ss.conf; nilfs2_ss_manager wanted nilfs_ss.conf as its default configuration file, but nilfs2_ss.conf is provided in the package. I personally think "nilfs" is preferable to "nilfs2" whenever it actually doesn't depend on the filesystem version such as mount or disk utilities. - The following error happened when I ran the snapshot manager. My python version is 2.7.1+ and yaml version is 3.09 $ sudo ./nilfs2_ss_manager Traceback (most recent call last): File "./nilfs2_ss_manager", line 141, in <module> conf = yaml.safe_load(open(conffile)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 75, in safe_load return load(stream, SafeLoader) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 58, in load return loader.get_single_data() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/constructor.py", line 42, in get_single_data node = self.get_single_node() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 39, in get_single_node if not self.check_event(StreamEndEvent): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 93, in check_event self.current_event = self.state() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 169, in parse_document_start self.peek_token().start_mark) yaml.parser.ParserError: expected '<document start>', but found '<block mapping start>' in "/etc/nilfs_ss.conf", line 14, column 1 - I cloned the following git tree instead of downloading the tar ball. git://timebrowse.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/timebrowse/timebrowse It works fine, but looks git tag is missing. It's helpful to mark the commit on which you made a release. $ git tag -a v0.1 Cheers, Ryusuke Konishi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
