Error loading pre-built MVFS on Linux systems

Troubleshooting


Problem

When either installing or upgrading ClearCase or the operating system on certain Linux systems, the shipped MVFS module does not load.

Symptom

When starting the ClearCase service, you see an error message similar to this:

ClearCase daemons: albd_server FATAL: Error inserting mvfs (/lib/modules/2.6.16.60-0.85.1-ppc64/kernel/fs/mvfs/mvfs.ko):
Invalid module format
Loading the MVFS was unsuccessful(8:1)
/opt/rational/clearcase/etc/clearcase: Loading MVFS failed
---- Please review /var/log/messages for information on the problem.
---- You may need to rebuild your kernel, rebuild your mvfs module,
---- and reboot your system. Information on how to do this can be found in
---- your Release Notes and file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src/README.txt.
