RRIP patch

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Bill Hassell referred in the Netherlands to a patch that would be available for 11i that would make PFS internal knowledge to the mount command, so the pfs daemons would become obsolete. What wonderfull thought (AIX supports this for a long time already).

He also said that a 11.00 patch would follow shortly.

I cannot find any patch regarding this subject for neither 11i nor 11.00. Tried finding on RRIP and on PFS.

Does anybody can shed some light on this?

Hi,

patches for 11.00 are not available yet.

Patches for 11.i are:


PHCO_25841
PHKL_26269
PHKL_25760

Procura,

Search for Rock Ridge in the patch part of the ITRC and you will find them as well.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Thanks, but 11.00 still not available :((

Are you using the `old' search engine or the magnificent new beta at
http://support2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/search.do?pageContextName=hpux:::

If not (yet), try it. You'll like it!

[Clemens van Everdingen]

Hi,

Used the old one, but will try the new one sometime.

Hi:

Although I have not yet done so, it is my understanding that you can obtain an advance copy of this 11i patch ported to 11.0 by emailing your request to:

spp@cup.hp.com

Regards!

Just did. JRF, wait for your points. If this helps, you get the full load :) otherwise, between 4-7

From that address I got the following reply:

Hi Brand,

Rock Ridge extensions for 11.00 will be released by
the end of May. So you can check for patches on 11.00
at that time.

Thread closed.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Well, it's the end of May alright, but still no 11.00 version of that patch.

[Wodisch]

Hi procura,

don't be so impatient - there's still 4 days left...

;-)

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Wodish, Just read your Do/Don't post, so you can imagine the I wanna just forget all about pfs_mount and such. Yes, I *am* impatient ... .. .

HP, were is my patch!?

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Merry:

I believe that you now can obtain a Beta version. I suggest you contact HP again.

Regards!

Hi,
Ok, I know, I should think before I act, but I was so pleased with the mailaddress provided (spp@cup.hp.com) that I just send them a (very polite) mail requesting the (beta) patches ... without knowing who these people are.

Boy, I won't make that mistake again. Let's just say I got a "less than polite" reply saying that ITRC might be for everybody but they only catered for "the high and mighty".

Ah well, I'll just have to wait, won't I :-)
Regards,
Tom

Staaaaange, I got:

I apologize for any negative impression caused by my response to Tom's request to spp@cup.hp.com.

Here is the latest information regarding Rockridge support on HP-UX 11.0:

11.00: PHKL_26448 (kernel)
PHCO_26449 (command)
PHKL_26450 (header for compile)
- All these patches are cut and tested, but waiting for final management review. The patches are expected to be released very soon.
