Hello,

by testing out coda for a production system to overcome the
problems of NFS for our applications I run into the alredy
known problem if version skewness.

Maybe there is somebody to point me into the right direction?!

After reading the manuals and digging through the mailing lists
I still stuck with the already mentioned venus error
"WorkerInit: Version Skew with kernel! Get a newer kernel!"
during startup of venus:

I have
Linux kernel 2.6.16
coda-6.0.14
lwp-2.1
rpc2-1.28
rvm-1.11

installed on a fresh Dell Server 1850.

The coda server is running
cmon on the server is working (not localhost!)

I have installed coda client on the same machine,
(may be that is not allowed?) and by starting venus I get:

.

Special file is created:
# ls -l /dev/cf*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 67, 0 May 26 08:39 /dev/cfs0

What else can be done?
Use the kernel modules of coda site?

Any help would be appreciated.
