SNAPAPI for Linux 2.6.15 kernel

Hi,

Can you confirm if snapapi26 module is tested and/or avaliable
for the Linux 2.6.15 kernel ?

I'm using the customised version of the 2.6.15 kernel with the
ocfs+iscsi support so it's essential that it's stable on this kernel
version.

Here is the error log:

Hello.
As reported here I got exactly the identical problem with vanilla or Debian-patched kernel 2.6.15.
I reinstalled from scratch the latest build 989 and the kernel sources, compiled the kernel with all other modules correctly (fglrx, vmware, rocketraid SATA, and so on), but snapapi doesn't work.

The dkms command line is included in my other post. These are the build infos:
uname -r
2.6.15

cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable \n \l

As said, there's no way to compile the snapapi26 ko with version 2.6.15, 'cause I have compilation errors I hadn't till 2.6.14.7
Let me underline this point: compiling again with 2.6.14 IT DOES WORK, but can't use those compiled modules with other kernel versions.

Without compiled .ko module, there's no chance to modprobe or insmod it, as stated on the linked page.

Thank you again for your support

 

Hello igors and xschema,

I've just consulted with the respective person from our Development Team and he assured me that this problem is known already and will be fixed in the next build of Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Linux which will be available in the Product Updates section of our web site in the nearest future. Please accept our apologies for the current inconvenience.

Thank you.

<bump>

Is there a definite date on when the next version of TI for Linux will be out?

My NIC depends on the 2.6.15 kernel to work properly, but as of now I'm without automatic backup routines.

Hello wishyou,
