mktape error: Structure of MAM incorrect size: 1016

[nia]

Yes, Good Job Frank. It worked for me as well.

[bartoque]

Newest release mhvtl-2010-01-28.tgz/mhvtl-0.18-2...rpm now has now the following set:

Code: Select all

/* Pad to keep MAM to 1024 bytes */
   uint8_t pad[1024 - 876];


Haven't tested it yet on Ubuntu 9.10 to see if it now works out of the box...

I have tested the new code on 32-bit Debian 2.6.26-19lenny and 64-bit 2.6.29-gentoo-r5.
Both were OK and did not have any issues.
Hopfully, your Ubuntu 9.10 will do the same ..

I did install and run mhvtl-2010-01-28.tgz/mhvtl-0.18-2 on ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 with no issue ..
It did not complain about any incorrect MAM size.
However, does this issue only affect 32-bit version , correct ?

The fix being added (0.18-2 & 0.16-12 (when released)) is :
struct MAM {
....<cut>....

/* Pad to keep MAM to 1024 bytes */
uint8_t pad[1024 - 876];
} __attribute__((packed));

This way, the size of the structure is the SAME on both 32 and 64bit platforms..
