Compile UFS module to support rw with kernel 3.19.0-26-generic

Asked by bjcheny

Hi guys,

I'd like to enable rw support for ufs file system with kernel 3.19.0-26-generic.

Basically, I follow steps as below from http://oz123.github.io/writings/2012-11-26-enable-ufs-write-support-debian/

sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)

mkdir ufs_rw
cd ufs_rw

apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
cp -v /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers .

cd linux-*/
cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r) .

make EXTRAVERSION=-4 O=~/ufs_rw oldconfig

sed -i 's/# CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE is not set/CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE=y/' ~/ufs_rw/.config

make EXTRAVERSION=-4 O=~/ufs_rw prepare

make EXTRAVERSION=-4 O=~/ufs_rw outputmakefile

make EXTRAVERSION=-4 O=~/ufs_rw archprepare

make EXTRAVERSION=-4 O=~/ufs_rw modules SUBDIRS=scripts

make EXTRAVERSION=-4 O=~/ufs_rw modules SUBDIRS=fs/ufs

However, I get ufs.ko under ufs_rw/fs/ufs and when I modprobe it, it brings to a kernel panic easily with below command

modprobe nbd

qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 freebsd10u1x64

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2,rw /dev/nbd0p2 /mnt

Thus, pls help tell me if I mistake some steps above.

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

UFS support is already enabled in Ubuntu/Linux kernel 3.19.x.xxx.

As for the RW option, you should know that is considered experimental.

Try to remount the partition.

    mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2,remount,rw /dev/nbd0p2 /mnt

It works first time when I run

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2,rw /dev/nbd0p2 /mnt

However, when I try to write something to /mnt or even umount /mnt, there is kernel panic.

And further more, the way above works for 3.8.0-34-generic/3.11.0-26-generic.

That means I can read/write correctly with ufs2 file system.

It breaks with 3.19.0-26-generic, from my view.
