Arla problems at Linux

[Ole Streicher]

Hallo !

I was trying to install Arla at a Linux PC, without success.

At compilation time, the file xfs/linux/xfs_syscalls.c, the symbol
`VIOC_AFS_SYSNAME' is undeclared. After fixing this (I found a #define
statement in include/kafs.h), it compiles and installs well. But, when
I try to run it (as described in the README file), after
"/usr/arla//bin/arlad -d /dev/xfs", I get

------------------------------------------------------
Arlad booting sequence:
initports
Unable to find service afs3-fileserver/udp, using port 7000

conn_init numconns = 100

arla init done.

-----------------------------------------------------------
and the process prints the last two lines every few seconds, without
the possibility to mount the file system. The "mount" command lead to
an IOT Trap, and now I can't remove the xfs modules anymore since it
reports that it is in use (but, it isn't).
"dmesg" reports lots of messages like
----------------------------------------
xfs_devopen dev = 15360, flags = 2
xfs_devclose dev = 15360, flags = 2
free_all_xfs_nodes starting
xfs_cache_purge
free_all_xfs_nodes now removing root
free_all_xfs_nodes done
----------------------------------------
All this happens independent of the version I use (0.1 or 0.2). The
"test" feature (arlad -t) seems to work without problems; I can cd to
the directories and list them.

Can you say what goes wrong with my installation?

Thank you very much

Ole
