Re: How to test Hammer fs

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:Hello!
:
:I'd like to check out the HAMMER filesystem on my own, but I am having 
:trouble to make it work. I downloaded the ISO-images of the daily 
:distribution 1.13 (from 14.5 and 15.5). I am able to newfs_hammer -L 
:Test /dev/da1 and it is creating the filesystem. The problem is that I 
:cannot mount it. Using mount_hammer /dev/da1 prints out an error message 
:like vfsload(hammer): No such file or directory (or the like). I 
:searched for hours in the archives but it seems that nobody have had 
:this kind of problem before. First I used a VMWare machine within Linux, 
:later I also tried to use real hard disks on real PCs but the same 
:problem persists.
:Could somebody give me a hint how to make it work?
:
:Thanks,
:Damian

    You need to compile it into the kernel with:

	options HAMMER

    In your kernel config.
