Kernel version > 4.0 isn't yet supported. We hope to have this ready
in a week or two.

The next release is early next week. This should be fixed in that.

[QUADStor Support]

Sorry, the release has been delayed slightly. We expect the release to
be ready by the end of this week.

[Dmitry Polezhaev]

I'm using Debian Jessie also, but without PROXMOX. And my versions are completely older:

# cat /etc/debian_version
8.7
# uname -a
Linux labstor01.lab.local 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

[QUADStor Support]

The build error should now be fixed. The software can be built against
4.9.x kernels

The next release can be downloaded from
http://www.quadstor.com/storage-virtualization-enterprise-edition-downloads.html

[Mark Syms]

Doesn't appear to be fixed, on Debian 9 (stretch) with either the distro binary kernel and headers or a locally built 4.9.41 from the kernel.org git repo.

Using quadstor-virt-3.2.12.1 the following occurs

#> /quadstor/bin/builditf

rm -rf *.o *.ko .*.cmd *.mod.c .tmp_versions Module.symvers .*.o.d Module.*

So, there appears to be a header mismatch somewhere.

Thanks,

[QUADStor Support]

There was a name clash with one of the kernel functions. Try
http://www.quadstor.com/virtentdub3z/quadstor-virt-3.2.12.2-debian7-x86_64.deb

[Mark Syms]

That builds, I am seeing errors like this on startup though -

kernel:[  322.168862] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#24 stuck for 23s! [ddloadt:10673]

Hopefully this doesn't indicate a serious issue.

[QUADStor Support]

The soft lockup needs to be looked into. Can you send us the diagnostics logs.

[Mark Syms]

Attached.

[QUADStor Support]

Thanks. Do you remember the previous version that was installed ?

[Mark Syms]

3.2.12.1.

HTH,

Mark.

[QUADStor Support]

Seems like a false positive. The soft lock is reported for a crc
function which calculates the crc for the metadata stored on disk.
This function can be called for many blocks on startup. Also the
thread which does the metadata load does complete.
Its seeks ok for now, but we will look into this further.

This is the year ago message. but I got the same problem now. My OS version is ubuntu 18.04.2.  What I need to update ?

Hi,

We need to fix a few build issues for kernels >= 4.14.x. It might
take us a day or two.

Hi,

This might take longer than we initially thought. The number of build
failures are quite high across modules. Its probably better to go with
Ubuntu 16.04 for now
