Hello, I am new to Coda and setting up networked file systems in general. I am trying to set up a small Coda server to get a feel for things. So far I have not been very successful. I am running RedHat 6.2 with custom 2.2.14 kernel. Installation of the 5.3.10 RPM's and supporting libraries went smoothly. Using the RPM's, however, I ran into trouble, because vice-setup-rvm could not find the rvmutl program. I couldn't locate the rpm-tools RPM that I think is supposed to contain rvmutl, so I compiled everything from source and tried again. This time, rvmutl dies on a failed assertion. I haven't been able to get past this problem. Following is an excerpt of what happens when I try to initialize two non-existing files for use with RVM. I get the same error when I use raw disk partitions, zero-size existing files, or existing files filled with zeroes to the required size. *************************************************************** Are you ready to set up RVM? [yes/no] yes What is your log partition? /tmp/rvmlog The log size must be smaller than you log partition. We recommend not more than 30M log size, and 2M is a good choice. What is your log size? (enter as e.g. '2M') 2M What is your data partition (or file)? /tmp/rvmdata The data size must be approx 4% of you server file space. We have templates for servers of approx: 500M, 1G, 2.2G, 3.3G, 8G (you can store less, but not more on such servers). The corresponding data sizes are 22M, 44M, 90M, 130M, 315M. Pick one of the defaults, otherwise I will bail out What is the size of you data partition (or file) [22M, 44M, 90M, 130M, 200M, 315M]: 22M -------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: DATA and LOG partitions are about to be wiped. -------------------------------------------------------- --- log area: /tmp/rvmlog, size 2M. --- data area: /tmp/rvmdata, size 22M. Proceed, and wipe out old data? [y/n] y rvmutl: rvm_io.c:300: write_dev: Assertion length != 0' failed. *************************************************************** System: (largely) RedHat 6.2, custom kernel 2.2.14 (with coda.o module) Coda sources: coda-5.3.10.tgz lwp-1.5.tar.gz rpc2-1.8.tar.gz rvm-1.2.tar.gz Any help would be much appreciated.
