Coda File System

RE: Basic Problem - coda won\'t start

You need to compile and install the latest coda kernel module.  You can
find the source at:

ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/linux/kernel/linux-coda-6.0.0.tgz

Also a note, the new module will not replace the existing Coda module
distributed by redhat.  You'll need to go into /lib/modules/<kernel> and
manually modify modules.conf, or manually replace the old kernel module
with the new one.

At least this is what I've done with a couple of RedHat boxes... others
might have better solutions.
