hello Helmut

I don't know the distri (Slackware 13.0) I use openSUSE

When you compile your kernel, why you don't use redirfs

Other time  John Ogness  and other told me

In order to use Dazuko 2.3.6 with your kernel (2.6.27), you need to
configure it to work with RedirFS. A very quick HOWTO was posted to
the dazuko-devel mailing list:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dazuko-devel/2009-02/msg00026.html

redirfs + dazuko rundown:

1) download and install the latest redirfs 0.6
   - you can use the following INSTALL file

http://www.redirfs.org/svn/redirfs/tags/redirfs-0.6/src/redirfs/INSTALL

2) download dazuko-2.3.7
   - http://dazuko.dnsalias.org/files/dazuko-2.3.7.tar.gz

3) unpack the dazuko-2.3.7 package

4) copy the Module.symvers file from the redirfs source directory into
   the dazuko-2.3.7 source directory

5) configure dazuko
   $ ./configure --enable-redirfs --redirfsdir=<full path to the
redirfs source directory>

6) compile a load dazuko module
   $ make
   # insmod dazuko.ko

nearly 2 weeks ago, Frantisek Hrbata posted a patch against 2.3.6-pre2
to allow Dazuko to work with the latest RedirFS version 0.6. I decided
to integrate the patch and release version 2.3.6 of Dazuko.

This means that Dazuko 2.x could be used with the most recent kernels
by first installing RedirFS. The build and installation procedure is
actually pretty simple:

$ wget http://www.redirfs.org/packages/redirfs-0.6.tar.gz
$ tar xzf redirfs-0.6.tar.gz
$ cd redirfs-0.6
$ make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules
$ sudo make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules_install
$ cd ..
$ wget http://dazuko.dnsalias.org/files/dazuko-2.3.6.tar.gz
$ tar xzf dazuko-2.3.6.tar.gz
$ cd dazuko-2.3.6
$ ./configure --redirfsdir=`pwd`/../redirfs-0.6
$ make
$ sudo make install

That's it.

You can find it also for your kernel
If it works with your distri, I don't know
