Support for minix-filesystem on CentOS 7/8

Post by yves » 2021/11/19 07:10:45

Hello,

a long time ago I asked for help building a kernel-module for Minix Filesystem on Centos5. (viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12854&hilit=minix#p59119)

Alan helped me building a Kernel Module for it and placed it (fantastically for me ;) ) on elrepo.

Now we switch to Centos 7 and I see that the module seems to not be available for Centos 7/8 at elrepo. All tries to build a module failed.

CC [M] fs/minix/namei.o
fs/minix/namei.c:269:2: error: unknown field âtmpfileâ specified in initializer

I assume that there is a failure in the code of "namei.c" (at least for Centos 7). I temporarily removed the line in question. And the module built successfully. However I'd really appreciate the availability of the module at elrepo.

@Alan Could you help me again?

Thanks in advance
yves
