Hello Tony,
I upgraded kernel from 2.2.12-20 to 2.2.19 and applied the ipvs patch.
I had to switch back to older version because, the new ipvs was
not behaving correctly. More to the point ftp wasn't working
for some users. Looking at the patch for ipvs that comes with
2.2.18 and 2.2.12-20 I see lines like:
#ifdef CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_VS magic code goes here
#endif
The ipvs patch for 2.2.19 doesn't make any changes
to the ip_masq_ftp module. So I ported forwarded
the changes from 2.2.18 to 2.2.19 and all seems to
work again.
I see now. I think we need a patch manager for the 2.2.x kernel series. This
doesn't have to be Wensong. Wensong should be released from this. I will propose
to do this since I'm also still working with 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels.
I guess my main question is what changed between 2.2.18
and 2.2.19 that meant that the ipvs patch doesn't alter the ip_masq_ftp
module any more?
I'll discuss this with Julian and Wensong and if needed I will rediff (and what
I hope not, forward patch) the thing against all kernels up to 2.2.22. Would it
be ok for you to also switch to the newest 2.2.22 kernel if we would provide the
correct IPVS patch? So we don't have to rediff for every kernel between 2.2.19
and 2.2.22.
> now go easy on me
I apologize to you if my reply sounded somewhat harsh. I sure didn't want to
offend you. I'm a friendly guy, mostly, ... sometimes ;)
Best regards,
