Re: cachefilesd.ko missing in FC11

Hi,

The init script for /etc/init.d/cachefilesd states:

echo -n $"Starting $PROG: "

# Load the cachefiles module if needed
[ -x "$MODPROBE" ] && {
if ! /sbin/lsmod | grep cachefiles > /dev/null ; then
$MODPROBE cachefiles $MODPROBE_ARGS || exit 1
fi
}


This implies there is a kernel modules called cachefiles.ko ? which does not exist

# service cachefilesd start
Starting cachefilesd: FATAL: Module cachefiles not found.

The file called /sbin/cachefilesd is the userspace side of things that relies on /proc/fs/cachefiles which I assume would be created by the kernel module - if it existed ?

/sbin/cachefilesd -dns
Unable to open /proc/fs/cachefiles: errno 2 (No such file or directory)


Any ideas ?

Albert.





It seems that this is an existing bug outstanding since 2007 (Fedora 8)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=411051

Someone should probability remove the RPM from the Fedora repo as suggested in the bug report.
