Description Ali Abdallah 2018-07-17 14:23:35 UTC

With FreeBSD 12-CURRENT, the pefs.ko kernel module fails to load. I've compiled it from source. kldload perfs.ko gives 

link_elf_obj: symbol bzero undefined
linker_load_file: /boot/modules/pefs.ko - unsupported file type

Have you tested these 2 patches from upstream:
https://github.com/glk/pefs/commit/da96c2b92f6bb09703440193a98cc1c230d3e6b6
https://github.com/glk/pefs/commit/02788ef4abb7e5b4ea55894e73c72db332666948

Comment 2 Ali Abdallah 2018-07-18 07:29:06 UTC

I just did now, but no lock, kldload fails to load the module with 

KLD pefs.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch
linker_load_file: /boot/modules/pefs.ko - unsupported file type

I'm on FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #15 r336200M

Comment 3 Ali Abdallah 2018-07-18 07:35:24 UTC

The two patches solve the problem for me. Actually it was failing with:

KLD pefs.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch

Because I had more recent revision in my /usr/src than the kernel I'm currently running. 

I think it is a good idea to includes those patches in the port. 

Thanks
