CIFS Option for RPI-3 kernel 5.10 release about rpi-linux HOT 6 CLOSED

I moved on to 5.15.y some time ago. I believe the RPF made it the default Sun. or Mon? This usually means the last LTS branch they were using 5.10.y won't receive any further updates.

As for enabling that module CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX=y, no problem. I'll run new builds this evening or tomorrow.

FYI: I suggest opening an issue and asking for it to be included. That will save me from having to shoehorn it on every build.

Thanx.

Using fetch update the kernel. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for taking care... I'm a bit confused though... while the RPF went to 5.15, the Chimaera latest ARM builds are still based on 5.10.95, which is newer than the latest 5.10.90 in this repository. However I will give 5.15 a try and see if it works with my peripherals.

As for opening an issue with the RPF, I was not aware that you are using their kernel config. I was under the impression that Raspbian uses the same (in my case 64 bit) kernel for all 64bit platforms, be it a Pi 3 or a Pi 4.

Both my systems were installed using the Chimaera signed releases and upgraded from 5.10.74 to 5.10.90 (from Jan 5th). And while the CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX is set on my Pi 4 desktop, it is not on my headless Pi 3 server. So, the config used for the builds in this repository is different for Pi 3 and Pi 4.

The kernel for me to try out would be rpi3-5.15.y.tar.xz, just to be sure?

The Devuan devs use the builder I maintain to create the IMGs. I'm not officially apart of Devuan. As for fetch only showing 5.10.y, update the script.fetch -u

I pull the kernel source directly from the RPF github and build it. Whatever defconfig(s) they provided is what I use with little modification. In my looking CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX is only enabled on the bcm2711_defconfig. I'm not sure of what the logic is there? Maybe they have a reason, I don't know? But for the time being, I now have the builder look for it and insert it into the defconfig(s) if not found.

You don't need to download the tarball. Updating the script fetch -u, should resolve the issue of fetch not seeing the latest kernel builds.

Alright, I'm guessing you downloaded from here? https://arm-files.devuan.org/RaspberryPi%20Latest%20Builds/
I also spin IMGs from time to time: https://github.com/pyavitz/binary/releases/tag/images

The diff between what I spin and what they make available:
The username / passwd is created on first boot and as a security feature root has no password by default. Although that can be easily remedied sudo passwd root.

Just loaded the 5.15 kernel... the CIFS_Posix option is now set. Thanks for that!
I didn't know that you using the RPI configs, and neither that the creators for the Devuan images build their kernel separately from yours. Good to know...
