Getting Source Code Using Git

You can get the source code of NILFS utilities with "git clone" command:

 $ git clone git://github.com/nilfs-dev/nilfs-utils.git

Standalone kernel modules of NILFS2 are also obtainable in the same manner:

Kernel module for CentOS 6, Scientific Linux 6

$ git clone git://github.com/nilfs-dev/nilfs2-kmod-centos6.git

Kernel module for CentOS 5, Scientific Linux 5, and old vanilla kernels (2.6.18~2.6.29)
```
$ git clone git://github.com/nilfs-dev/nilfs2-module.git
```

These repositories can be updated with "git pull" command. Refer to http://git-scm.com/ for further information.

Preparations To Build nilfs-utils

Since these repositories don't include any intermediate files, you need some preparations before running the configure script in utils:

 $ cd nilfs-utils
 $ aclocal
 $ autoheader
 $ libtoolize -c --force
 $ automake -a -c
 $ autoconf

This may require libtool, autoconf (-2.6 or later), and automake packages.

Then, you will be able to build & install utilities in the usual manner:

 $ ./configure
 $ make
 $ sudo make install

Good luck!
