[SCore-users-jp] Re: [SCore-users] stock kernel unstable in Redhat 7.3

Hi.

Sorry for late response.

I do not recommend to apply score patch to Redhat kernel because of
too much reject files. :-<

NFS around bugs are fixed on linux-2.4.19.

Here is the NFS related patch list in redhat kernel spec file
(The files are in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES)
============================================================
# 15xx
# NFS patches: selected bits from Trond's 2.4.19pre8 patchset
#
Patch1501: linux-2.4.19-nfs-01-pathconf.dif.txt
Patch1503: linux-2.4.19-nfs-03-noac.dif.txt
Patch1504: linux-2.4.19-nfs-04-seekdir.dif.txt
Patch1505: linux-2.4.19-nfs-05-rdplus.dif.txt
Patch1506: linux-2.4.19-nfs-06-rpc_bkl.dif.txt
Patch1507: linux-2.4.19-nfs-07-bkl2.dif.txt
Patch1508: linux-2.4.19-nfs-08-rpc_cong.dif.txt
Patch1509: linux-2.4.19-nfs-09-rpc_wspace.dif.txt
Patch1510: linux-2.4.19-nfs-10-ping.dif.txt
Patch1511: linux-2.4.19-nfs-11-rpc_tweaks.dif.txt
Patch1550: linux-2.4.18-nfs-default-size.patch
#
# 16xx
# NFS server patches
#
Patch1600: linux-2.4.19-nfsd-B-NfsdErrFix.patch
# end NFS
============================================================

If you want to fix the problem, I recommend to apply the above patch
to score kernel or apply score patch to original 2.4.19 or 2.4.20rc1.

However current score patch to original 2.4.18 but including various
fixes. 

So I will send you, score-2.4.18 minimal patch.
Try to apply it to original 2.4.19 or 2.4.20rc1 kernel.

Some patches are rejected, but easy to fix them.

PS: The patch will up www.pcclusters.org.

Shinji.
