How to install xfsprogs?

[aberresch]

Hi, I'm trying to install xfsprogs but it always fails with the following error:

FATAL ERROR: could not find a valid UUID header. Install the Universally Unique Identifiers development package. make: *** [/build/buildroot/output/build/xfsprogs-4.5.0/.stamp_configured] Error 1

I'm using the following command:

sudo pkg install xfsprogs

Can u tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or how to install that Universally Unique Identifiers development package?

[aberresch]

The following command works:

sudo pkg install xfsprogs -e BR2_USE_WCHAR=y -e BR2_USE_MMU=y -e BR2_PACKAGE_E2FSPROGS=y -e BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX=y -e BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBBLKID=y -e BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBUUID=y

But the filesystem xfs is still unknown. My goal is to create a Ceph cluster in barge-os. But I get always the following error:

DEBUG:ceph-disk:Creating xfs fs on /dev/sdb1 INFO:ceph-disk:Running command: /sbin/mkfs -t xfs -f -i size=2048 -- /dev/sdb1 DEBUG:ceph-disk:Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /var/lib/ceph/tmp/mnt.Q3ZDXK with options noatime,inode64 INFO:ceph-disk:Running command: /bin/mount -t xfs -o noatime,inode64 -- /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/ceph/tmp/mnt.Q3ZDXK mount: unknown filesystem type 'xfs' ceph-disk: Mounting filesystem failed: Command '['/bin/mount', '-t', 'xfs', '-o', 'noatime,inode64', '--', '/dev/sdb1', '/var/lib/ceph/tmp/mnt.Q3ZDXK']' returned non-zero exit status 32

It seems that the os itself doesn't know the xls filesystem.

[root@barge bargee]# cat /proc/filesystems

How can I install the xls module in barge-os?

[aberresch]

OK, found out that I probably need to enable XFS fs in the kernel.config!

[ailispaw]

@aberresch That seems right.
I strip out some kernel modules to reduce the size of OS.
But I can add xfs module if it's not a big impact of size.
Could you tell me the advantage of Ceph? I'm interested in Ceph.
Are there any other requirements for Ceph?

[ailispaw]

I try to use https://github.com/ceph/ceph-docker to learn about Ceph.
ceph/demo seems to work fine with normal barge-os.

[ailispaw]

It looks like Ceph can work on ext4 as well as xfs.
On the other hand, it may need other kernel config as a Ceph client.

CONFIG_CEPH_LIB
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RBD
CONFIG_CEPH_FS

[ailispaw]

Anyway, please let me know what you need in kernel.config.
I love to support you and will consider it.

[ailispaw]

For xfsprogs package, you don't need BR2_PACKAGE_E2FSPROGS as xfsprogs/Config.in.

And because xfsprogs/xfsprogs.mk has XFSPROGS_DEPENDENCIES = util-linux, the simplest version of the command line is;

sudo pkg build -f xfsprogs -e BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBBLKID=y -e BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBUUID=y

It's tricky, isn't it? Sorry about this.

[aberresch]

No problem, thx. I'm also a newbie in Ceph and want to play a little bit with it. I also tried the ceph/demo image now and it works. For the first time I tried the ceph/daemon image and start a container for each service. But the OSD service was the one who needs xfs, etc. I will continue with the ceph/demo image now. Thanks for your support.

You're welcome. Please let me know if your need anything on Barge.
