Hi all
I am using FC2, kernel 2.6.9. I want to recompile the kernel to support NTFS. So i get the kernel source and follow the instruction in the README file along with the source.
I reuse the configuration file of the pre-built kernel in the /boot directory. I just change the file at one or two line to support the NTFS filessystem. Everything goes fine. I can get the new kernel. However, there is a little problem.
When I do "make modules_install", the new modules are installed to /lib/modules directory. I check the size of the newly installed modules and find that it's much much bigger than the pre-built one.
For the newly installed modules :
[root@localhost titan]# du /lib/modules/2.6.9 -sh
377M /lib/modules/2.6.9
While the pre-built one of FC2 is
[root@localhost titan]# du /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.6_FC2/ -sh
67M /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.6_FC2/
From 67MB to 377MB is a big different and I don't think that only the module which supports ntfs takes so much space. Moreover, i reused the FC2's configuration.
Has anyone faced this problem before ? Can give me some advices or clue ?
Tks you guys a lot :)
