UFSD kernel module on debian
July 18, 2012 01:47PM
Hi. One of the reasons I bought a dockstar was because of the journaled HFS+ writing support. This is achieved by using the ufsd.ko kernel module.
Has anyone been able to run that with debian?
I get

insmod: error inserting 'ufsd.ko': -1 Invalid module format

There is no source available.
Is it possible to use the original dockstar kernel with the debian userland?

Regards

It should be possible, someone did this for another Seagate NAS:

Edit: He used seagate kernel similar to pogoplug's 2.6.22 kernel. The binary is only compatible with Lenny so I guess I would have to use that:

"Do not *upgrade* the Debian system. The linux kernel image (NAND
partition 4) is compatible with Debian Lenny. The latest Debian versions
(Squeeze ...) require an updated kernel udev subsystem and therefore
you would have to update the kernel image first. As of now, nobody
has done this laborious work (forward port Seagates h/w-specific patches,
compile and test the kernel)"

So I suppose it's not possible to run 2.6.22 with debian squeeze. If anyone has an updated ufsd.ko that works in squeeze that woud be great...maybe from a newer device.
