Ocfs2 users - Jul 2006 - OCFS2 installing from tarballs

Hi all,

I'm trying to install ocfs2 on a machine with SLC4. The kernel is 
2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.cernsmp, so I can not install it with the rpm's.
I have downloaded the source tarballs, but after doing "./configure, 
make and make install" I don't know how to continue to make it work.
The
install-sh script is suposed to copy the file into the kernel modules 
path, but I don't see them.
Is there any documentation guide on line to see how to make it work?

Thanks in advance - Miguel.

	I assume that you are booted into the same kernel you are
building for (2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.cernsmp).  make install will drop things
in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extras or so.  Perhaps you just need to run
depmod -a?  What isn't working?  Have you installed the tools and tried
to set up a cluster?
