can't load XFS module

Hi folks,

I’m playing around with bitnami’s SugarCRM EC2 AMI, and I’m trying to load xfs module so I can add EBS persistence to it.

I’ve sucefully installed xfsprogs package but when I try to load xfs module (sudo modprobe xfs) I’ve got an error saying that the module was not found.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks in advance

Ok,
itna
Digging a little deeper I found that /lib/modules only had files for 2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen kernel, but amazon AMI kernel is 2.6.16-xenU, so that’s why it didn’t found it. I downloaded the correspondent modules from http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2-downloads/modules-2…, unpack it from the root folder (so everything goes to proper places) and then perform a “sudo /sbin/depmod -a” to rebuild module depencies. After that I could load xfs module sucessfully. Not sure however if this may bring further problems with the bitnami kernel, but I guess not.

Cheers,

Eric.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. We were not aware of this issue. We will try to fix it ASAP and use a new AMI as a base for future releases.
