Author ASA 8.0.3 on Linux aneto 2.6.8-2-686-smp and glibc 2.3.2

Hi everyone,

I wonder if ASA 8.0.3 was compatible with his version ok linux kernel:
Linux aneto 2.6.8-2-686-smp

And this version of libC : 2.3.2

If not, why recent kernels wouldn't be supported by ASA 8.0.3 ? Isn't there
any ascendant comptability ?

Please read this page:

It is impossible to test every ASA version on every kernel & glibc
combination. From the above page you will see that 8.0.3.5003 was tested
with 2.6.0, 2.6.4 and 2.6.9 kernels.

What Linux distro are you using?

Ok thanks for this page.

I'm not using a such distrib but it's for a new customer who will choose our
product (and so ASA 803) unless the DBengine works on his Debian distrib.
It's a testing version of Debian, with 2.6.8-2-686-smp kernel et Glic 2.3.2.

According to the page you've given to me, ASA 803 is supported for Kernel
2.6.0 to 2.6.9 except 2.6.8. Too bad my customer just use a 2.6.8 kernel.

My question was to know if anyone has tried to use an ASA803 engine on e
2.6.8 kernel (not many people I know) and if any problem has been
encountered.
And why 2.6.8 kernel is not supported ? In which case ?

During our testing of ASA on SuSE 9.2 (which uses the 2.6.8 kernel), we found
that there is an I/O timing bug in the kernel that would corrupt the database.
This is why we state that we cannot support SQLAnywhere on 2.6.8.
