Compiling the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module

Depending on whether or not you have a standard kernel that has been updated or a custom kernel that needs to have the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module added, the steps for compiling the module differ.


Compiling the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module After a Kernel Update

If you have updated the kernel on the workstation, you must compile the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module so that it works with the updated kernel.

  1. In a terminal window, log in as root.

  2. Enter the following command:

    cd /opt/novell/ncl/src/novfs

  3. Enter the following command:

    ./mk_novfs

    The Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module is updated to match your updated kernel.


Compiling the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module on Workstations Running a Custom Kernel

If you have a custom kernel on the workstation, you must compile the Novell Client Virtual File System kernel module so that it works with the custom kernel.

  1. In a terminal window, log in as root.

  2. Enter the following command:

    cd /opt/novell/ncl/src/novfs

  3. Enter the following command:

    ./m

    The Novell Client Virtual File System Module is updated to match your custom kernel.
