./install script


Algo:

check for loadable module support in the kernel

check for logical volume manager support in the kernel

check for libxml library

check for libdevmapper library

compile the code using "make"

compile the kernel space code

copy the binary to /sbin 

make the directory /etc/ohsm 

make the directory /etc/ohsm/dtd

make the directory /etc/ohsm/modules

copy the module to /etc/ohsm/modules

copy the dtds to /etc/ohsm/dtd

make changes to existing system so that it loads
"/etc/ohsm/modules/ohsm.ko" on every boot

make changes to existing system so that it makes the device /dev/ohsm on
every boot

Note: Every step should be check for proper execution

could not find functions to check the libraries.

I have posted it on kernel Newbies.

Lets wait for their reply

Moving the ohsm binary to /sbin. Thats a good thing to do. I mean only superusers can
use this.

We need to add some checks in the ioctl as well to make sure that the user has enough
privileges to issue the command.

I am not able to do it as I dont have any hints.

I can do it using shell scripting and filters like cut, grep etc.

If that implementation is acceptable then it will be done soon.

else I may take more time.
