Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

Yeah, that one was a headscratcher - kernel on a preproduction device newer than the 'final' SDK... Or are we going to have torrent style final-ultimate-repack SDKs ? :D

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

Well, until someone attempts a build of dm-mod.ko and dm-loop.ko for Fremantle, you'll have to putter along with the "regular" loop... :(

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

That is clear, it's just that it seems things are still in flux on the kernel level. Until the device-sdk-autobuilder trinity settles on a common 'final' version, it's not really worth the effort.

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

Hmm, what I find strange, is that dm-loop is not in mainline kernel. What is reason for this? I can hardly find information about it, and cannot find module pre-compiled either.

I have in fact 2 dm modules loaded (no idea why but they're loaded): dm_crypt and dm_road but they use _ underscore not - stripe. WTF?

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

Ok! Quim has announced the new final-final SDK, and it should have the shipping kernel version in it. Can one of you guys work your magic and get the dm-loop packages into Fremantle extras-devel? I would be so grateful!

Just a visual thank-you to Matan, qwerty12 and attila77...

Look at those beautiful, wonderful dependencies. Sweet.


EDIT: I've promoted the dm-loop stuff to Extras, because I need them for my packages...

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

Attila? qwerty12? Can someone fix Diablo dmsetup, please?

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

Errr... I thought I fixed it a while back ? I did not test extensively but a quick test run went through OK... Can you confirm the problem with the latest dmsetup in extras-devel ? On a side note, now that the release firmware is out, I planned on a little Fremantle dm_loop hackery tonight.

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

Someone else reported the same error when trying to install the dmsetup package. Did you fix this one?

Re: dm-loop (for qole)
 

I finally tried out the Fremantle packages in Extras-devel. In fact, I've made my Fremantle Easy Chroot package use the dmloop system if it is installed.

Some things I would like:

• I wish kernel-module-dmloop depended on dmsetup and libdevmapper1.02.1. It would be nice if the dependencies went both ways, but it is essential to pull in dmsetup if you install kernel-module-dmloop.
• I was doing some testing, uninstalling and reinstalling the dmsetup packages in Fremantle. I had the same problem with that dmsetup.rules file not being deleted when the package is removed.
