Patch for Linux 2.6.31 (working with Ubuntu 9.10)

[arnaud.faucher]

Here is a patch that is fully working for me on Ubuntu 9.10 (kernel 2.6.31). Many corrections were done too for kernel versions 2.6.28 and 2.6.30. The patch is not tested against these versions, please send feedback if you can.

Debugging is enabled this patch (use dmesg or /var/log/messages).

[arnaud.faucher]

Before applying this patch, apply patches from ticket #839 and #1105.

[arnaud.faucher]

/etc/modprobe.d/ndas-core.conf file

[arnaud.faucher]

On recent Ubuntu (Jaunty, Karmic), the /etc/modprobe.d/options file mentioned in ticket #839 no longer exists. Please adapt and use the "ndas-core.conf" file instead (also to be placed in /etc/modprobe.d/).

[ngaldridge]

Replying to arnaud.faucher:

I got this to work - you brought me kicking and screaming up to Karmic and the 2.6.31 kernel. Didn't work with Jaunty and 2.6.28, neither with Karmic and 2.6.30... was failing due to a lack of bus_id in 'struct device' on line 883 of ndas_scsi.c.

[ngaldridge]

Do you think it's important that I'm getting a:

Assertion failed "nbio->nr_sectors == blk_rq_cur_sectors(req)",/usr/src/modules/ndas/block/block26.c,nbio_alloc,line=179

in /var/log/messages when I do a fsck?

[arnaud.faucher]

Patch for Linux 2.6.31 (patch -p1 < Linux2.6.31.patch)

[arnaud.faucher]

Hi ngaldrige,

I've made changes to the patch in order to fix the failed assertion (wrong function being used). The module "should" now also build on 2.6.30, but it's not tested.

I would also like to help for 2.6.28, but I don't have an Ubuntu 9.04 machine. Do you remember if the patched module compiles on it ?

[ngaldridge]

I don't think it built on 2.6.28 - compiler error ~ bus_id does not exist in 'struct device' on line 883 of ndas_scsi.c.

I'll give the revised patch a try tonight.

N.

[Sorcerer]

tested on 2.6.30 (x86_64), compiles and works perfectly thanks :)

Replying to arnaud.faucher:

Ok - rebuilt with new patch. No assertions in /var/log/messages and fsck completed successfully also.

Looking good!

[arnaud.faucher]

After testing, this patch also works for me on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (kernel version 2.6.28-13).

[psykotik]

Well, it still doesn't work yet for me on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (kernel version 2.6.28-13-generic). Three patchs have been applied.

Please note it used to work on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. The external hard disk has not been formated since then.

Also, "cat /proc/ndas/devices/MyDisk/slots" doesn't find anything (dunno if it is an expected behaviour)

Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu ?

[psykotik]

32 bits.

[ngaldridge]

Replying to psykotik:

32 bits.

Just out of interest Did you make sure you deleted all the module building crud from /usr/src/modules ? From all my multiple attempts, I had a lot of old junk hanging around in there. Also did you dpkg -r all the ndas related modules?

[psykotik]

Did you make sure you deleted all the module building crud from /usr/src/modules ? From all my multiple attempts, I had a lot of old junk hanging around in there. Also did you dpkg -r all the ndas related modules?

yes. I did run

sudo dpkg -r ndasadmin
sudo dpkg -r ndas-modules-`uname -r`
sudo dpkg -r ndas-modules-src

before reinstalling.

[arnaud.faucher]

Did you also remove all the /usr/src/ndas* files before reinstalling the packages ?

[ngaldridge]

This is a good tip - there was all manner of junk kicking around in there. The source build and some stale old cached .deb files also.

[arnaud.faucher]

In fact I have created 3 scripts to build the packages, install and remove everything. Maybe they can be useful.

• Building:

  #!/bin/sh
  rm -f ndas_1.1-24.dsc
  rm -f ndas_1.1-24_i386.changes
  rm -f ndas_1.1-24.tar.gz
  rm -f ndas_1.1.orig.tar.gz
  rm -f ndas-modules-src_1.1-24_all.deb
  rm -f ndasadmin_1.1-24_i386.deb
  rm -f ndas_1.1-24.diff.gz
  cd ndas-1.1-24
  make
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
  cd ..
  

• Installing:

  #!/bin/sh
  sudo rm /usr/src/ndas*
  sudo dpkg -i ndas-modules-src_1.1-24_all.deb
  sudo m-a prepare
  sudo m-a auto-install ndas
  sudo dpkg -i ndasadmin_1.1-24_i386.deb
  

• Uninstalling:

  #!/bin/sh
  #sudo umount /mnt/netdisk1
  sudo dpkg -r ndasadmin
  sudo dpkg -r ndas-modules-`uname -r`
  sudo dpkg -r ndas-modules-src
  sudo rm /usr/src/ndas*
  

• And for a simple kernel update:

  sudo m-a auto-install ndas
  

always works well (see How to build a NDAS package for Debian).

Ideas:

• For many recent distributions, it would be interesting to add a DKMS configuration file, so that the module would build automatically on kernel update.

• The ndasadmin utility could be ported to Python: one library for backend processing, and front-ends (GUI and CLI). This way, only the libndas.a proprietary library would be architecture-dependent.

[psykotik]

Replying to arnaud.faucher:

Did you also remove all the /usr/src/ndas* files before reinstalling the packages ?

I tried, but no change.

[arnaud.faucher]

Replying to psykotik:

Can you try to mount your NDAS drive using USB to see if you have the same error ?

[psykotik]

Replying to arnaud.faucher:

Can you try to mount your NDAS drive using USB to see if you have the same error ?

It perfectly works through USB: I can copy and delete files.

[arnaud.faucher]

Replying to psykotik:

While re-reading your comments:

Well, it still doesn't work yet for me on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (kernel version 2.6.28-13-generic). Three patches have been applied.

Don't know if it's a mistake, but there are 4 patches to apply:

• 2 patches from ticket #839

• 1 patch from ticket #1105 (apply with patch -p0 < openSUSE.patch)

• 1 patch from this ticket

[arnaud.faucher]

Replying to psykotik:

Can you try with the pre-built packages from ticket #1112 ?

[psykotik]

Replying to arnaud.faucher:

Replying to psykotik:

Can you try with the pre-built packages from ticket #1112 ?

I installed it... but still same issue.

(I didn't install the opensuse patch, since it is meant to be used by opensuse users... isn't it?)

[arnaud.faucher]

Replying to psykotik:

Just for me to know... Do you have multiple NDAS devices ? What are their capacity ? Are they configured using RAID (several hard disks behind one controller) ?

Your serial numbers are 15 digits long, mine is 8 digits long:

arnaud@green:~$ cat /proc/ndas/devs
Name      	ID                     Key Serial           Ver Status         Slots
netdisk1  	CSCEY0L1JQ8YMSA*****   Yes 00528598         1   Online         1 

Have you checked correspondance on your hard drive ?

Have you also checked with only one controller registered ?

[psykotik]

Replying to arnaud.faucher:

Just for me to know... Do you have multiple NDAS devices ? What are their capacity ? Are they configured using RAID (several hard disks behind one controller) ?

One NDAS hard disk only. It's capacity is 320 Gb, and I don't use RAID.

Your serial numbers are 15 digits long, mine is 8 digits long:

Yeps, the s/n is ok. I didn't change it since ubuntu 8.10.

Have you checked correspondance on your hard drive ?

Have you also checked with only one controller registered ?

Do you mean... unregister second harddisk (which is the same NDAS, but using wire instead of wifi)?

[arnaud.faucher]

Replying to psykotik:

Do you mean... unregister second harddisk (which is the same NDAS, but using wire instead of wifi)?

Yes. Perhaps the driver patches confuse when there are more than 1 registration (???). By the way, can you also try using wire ?

(I didn't install the opensuse patch, since it is meant to be used by opensuse users... isn't it?)

Regarding the openSUSE patch, you are right: it does not affect kernel 2.6.28 (and so Ubuntu >= 9.04)

[arnaud.faucher]

Just to know, are there other users having the problem described by psykotyc ?

Are there users having success with this patch ?

Please indicate your distribution and linux kernel version (uname -a).

[l1q1d]

It works on a gentoo linux 64bit systema (uname -a: Linux Laptop 2.6.31-rc2 #2 SMP Sat Jul 11 11:03:22 CEST 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel? GNU/Linux)

But if ndas_dev is disable on boot (eg rfkill on wlan0) i must restart ndas after enabling wifi!

[arnaud.faucher]

I had a rather nasty bug starting at kernel version 2.6.31-rc5. After a bisection, I found that git kernel commit e084b2d95e48b31aa45f9c49ffc6cdae8bdb21d4 was the cause. The kernel patch may not be faulty (see the thread at  http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/11/250), but it triggered a bug in the ndas_block module, when the requests are merged for efficiency. The symptoms of this bug are that files are filled with garbage when opened.

By looking at the code, the bug possibly affects all 2.6 kernel versions with CONFIG_HIGHMEM enabled (which is the default), but may simply be not easily triggered on these versions.

In attachment 'Linux2.6.31-1.patch' (above), I disable request merging when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled. It may be less efficient (not noticeably for me), but at least it works.

[aniaclug]

I have the same issue. I've downloaded the .deb src package for modules and ndasadmin package (1.1.24). I've also downloaded all patches mut I've found they are already applied to sources (all but Linux.2.6.31-1, but it does not affect my kernel version). Disk is registered with wlan0, I've enabled it with #ndasadmin enable -s 1 -o w ls /dev/ndas* shows: /dev/ndas, /dev/ndas-XXXXXXXXX-0 and /dev/ndas-XXXXXXXX-0p1 and fdisk -l on /dev/ndas-XXXXXXXXX-0 shows a single partition (the one with p1) type HPFS/NTFS But when I try to mount the drive I have the issue. Mounting the device with USB works fine for both read and write.

Distro: Ubintu 9.0.4
kernel version: 2.6.28-15-generic
ndas-modules-src 1.1-24

[arnaud.faucher]

Hi aniaclug and psykotic, can you try to recompile the packages with all patches, including patch named Linux2.6.31-1.patch ?

I have reasons to think that it can affect positively the behavior of the driver on kernel version 2.6.28 too.

[aniaclug]

I've used sources extracted from .deb (in /usr/src/modules/ndas).
I've applied the patch (with sudo patch -p1 < Linux2.6.31-1.patch)
I've rebuilt and installed modules (sudo make clean all, sudo make install). I've rebooted. I've mounted de volume and....... (suspance)......

It WORKS!!!!!

[aniaclug]

No.. it doesn't.

In fact it works but not with *that* partition.
I discovered this because i left an usb NTFS disk connected to the HDD box and it exported only that disk and it mounted correctly.
The disk is formatted to 40Gb NTFS.

Tomorrow I will try reformatting the NTFS drive into my hdd box (is as factory pre-formatted ntfs disk). Now I do not have a windows machine to check the drive

[arnaud.faucher]

Hi aniaclug,

Any news after reformatting ?

[marcelo]

Just to report that my drive is working perfectly now.

Linux mojito 2.6.28-13-generic # 45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

I applied the patches in ticket #839, openSUSE.patch #1105 (I don't know if it is necessary, but works with it), and Linux2.6.31.patch and Linux2.6.31-1.patch in this ticket. I can read, write and format without problems.

Thanks arnaud.faucher and Doug (#839) for your effort!

Hi guys, I'm quite new in the Linux world, so please be patient with me if I seem stupid... I have Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't get this to work. I have applied the 5 patches from #839, #1105 and above. I have uninstalled everything by:

sudo dpkg -r ndasadmin
sudo dpkg -r ndas-modules-`uname -r`
sudo dpkg -r ndas-modules-src
sudo rm /usr/src/ndas*

And finally, I have reinstalled, by:

sudo rm /usr/src/ndas*
sudo dpkg -i ndas-modules-src_1.1-24_all.deb
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a auto-install ndas
sudo dpkg -i ndasadmin_1.1-24_amd64.deb

and everything looks fine, but when I try to register my disk, I get this message: Failed to open /dev/ndas Check NDAS device file exists, driver module is loaded and started by administration tool Appreciate any help!

The ndas-core.conf file was jacking up the ability to load the module because the server could not bind to wlan0 since there was no such interface. Either change wlan0 to eth0 (or your interface name), or just remove it from /etc/modprobe.d altogether.

Thank you Gondoi, now I have tried both changing to eth0, and deleted the entire file. Still the same result. Any other ideas I could try?

[dkall]

solved it finally. Had some old kernel that was messing up the "m-a prepare".
