Broken LUFS in 2.6.10 ??

Hi all !

Im triying to use captive-ntfs from punkrockguy318 repository but I have problems with LUFS...

when I try to mount an NTFS partition the lufs reject to load:

[root@yumi linux-2.6.10-ARCH]# mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs1
Captive NTFS v1.1.5.  Check a new version at: http://www.jankratochvil.net/
Preparing LUFS kernel module... Run /usr/share/lufs/prepmod if problems occur.
lufs module not loaded: Try running /usr/share/lufs/prepmod to see more. at /usr/bin/captive-lufsd line 180
[root@yumi linux-2.6.10-ARCH]# 

Well, now I run /usr/share/lufs/prepmod and...

 at /usr/share/lufs/prepmod line 181
[root@yumi linux-2.6.10-ARCH]# 

And dmesg shows me this...

lufs: Unknown symbol kill_proc_info

Any idea ?

I get the exact same errors you do. I think the reason is that the kernel installed by Arch is just the bzImage, not including the sources.

Anyone to verify that?

Arch includes sources, look in /usr/src

Arch doesn't include the sources, only the headers.

Re: Broken LUFS in 2.6.10 ??

It's not because you don't have the kernel sources. It's because in kernel 2.6.10, kill_proc_info was deprecated by the developers. Some have fixed it by adding it back into the source

in linux/kernel/signal.c, add

EXPORT_SYMBOL(kill_proc_info);

right after   

EXPORT_SYMBOL(kill_proc);

and recompile / install the kernel.

But to me, that seems more like a hack that really shouldn't be used. (They must've took out for a reason).

A real fix would be to find a work around in the lufs module. I'm not experienced enough to do this so I won't even try

People might also like to know that LUFS is pretty much dead - last news update on the site was over 2 years ago. FUSE is the way to go these days, and the current and future releases from linux-ntfs are FUSE-based.

If you're happy using that old hack, though, glad it worked out for you.

Re: Broken LUFS in 2.6.10 ??

mainly it's useful for the write features...although when i tried it, it was very slow and ended up corrupting the file i tried to transfer....ah well at least it didn't destroy the entire partition.

now i'm pissed i converted my spare partition to NTFS.
