I have a new 3.7.9-grsec kernel with modules enabled.

When I tried to mount a USB Drive with a fat filesystem last night, using "mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/drive" I got an error saying that VFAT wasn't compiled into the kernel. I tried again, same error. Knowing I'd compiled it as a module, I manually inserted it using modprobe. This worked and I was then able to mount my drive.

I noticed the following in syslog however:

Code: Select all

Feb 23 19:42:32 micro modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting vfat (/lib/modules/3.7.9-grsec/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko): Invalid argument
Feb 23 19:42:32 micro kernel: vfat: `' invalid for parameter `grsec_modharden_fs'
Feb 23 19:43:07 micro modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting vfat (/lib/modules/3.7.9-grsec/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko): Invalid argument
Feb 23 19:43:07 micro kernel: vfat: `' invalid for parameter `grsec_modharden_fs'


Considering I was trying to mount the filesystem as a root user, I thought this would have worked.

Sorry for the poor bug report - not sure what else I can offer. I got no errors in dmesg.

Hi,

This was fixed in the 3.8.0 test patch.

Thanks Brad.
