A.0 Compiling the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module

If you have updated the kernel on your workstation, you must compile the Novell® Client™ Virtual File System Kernel Module so that it works with the updated kernel. Compiling the Novell Client Virtual File System Module kernel requires the following steps:

  1. Ensure that the right packages are installed on your workstation so that the kernel module can be compiled.

    See Section A.1, Installing the Required Packages.

  2. (Conditional) Install the Novell Client software so that the kernel module pieces are on the workstation.

    See the Novell Client 2 SP1 for Linux Installation Quick Start.

    NOTE:If you installed the Novell Client for Linux and the installation failed, you do not need to repeat this step.

  3. Compile the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module.

    See Section A.2, Compiling the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module.

  4. Restart the workstation.
