Are there aby patches that alows the Kernel to support fifos?
Here is the background:
I found the man-apge for the 'mkfifo' and tried the
command. 'mkfifo' says: 'Operation not supported'
So i went to my Kernel config file and appendet:
pseudo-device fifo
which i got from /sys/conf/files.
I installed the new Kernel ( .../kern/fifo_vnops.c was compiled), but
the mkfifo command fails still.
I wrote a little C-Program that calls mkfifo from the standart library.
It fails
Even a 'mknod("bla", 10660, 0)' system call fails too.
Have i made any mistakes in the Kernel-configuration or it is fact, that
fifo not suportet yet?
