[gentoo-portage-dev] A question regarding portage & GFS2

[Mikko Rinne]

Hey,

It's my first time I'm mailing to this list so be warned.

I have a problem with GFS2. In the past there's been sys-fs/gfs2 ebuild 
available in the portage, but for now it's been removed as one of it's 
dependencies (openais) was removed.

Normally I wouldn't mind about it, but as I had the original sys-fs/gfs2 
already built in the system and after running emerge --sync & emerge 
--update, I found out that it actually managed to broke down mkfs.gfs2, 
which is pretty essential part when you have GFS2 set up. The whole 
error is; mkfs.gfs2: error while loading shared libraries: 
libvolume_id.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So the question remains; As GFS2 was removed as sys-fs/gfs2, has it been 
moved to any other main streamline package? If so, where. Basicly all I 
need atm is the mkfs.gfs2, but any info about this is much appreciated. 
Thanks.



Best Regards,

You may get more relevant advice from emailing gentoo-user, as this
list is primarily focussed on development of sys-apps/portage.

You are free to go to http://sources.gentoo.org, click on 'gentoo-x86'
and find the ebuild for sys-fs/gfs2 and use it (and its associated
files) to build a new mkfs.gfs2.
You should probably put this ebuild in an overlay
