I am using EndeverOS with LTS kernel 6.6 and want to install Sophos Endpoint antivirus.
During the installation I get the error:
WARN: Fanotify is not enabled by this kernel so the AV plugin will not be able to scan files on access and, if necessary, block access to threats
FAN_FS_ERROR requires the fanotify group to be setup with the FAN_REPORT_FID flag.
As of this writing, the only file system that emits FAN_FS_ERROR notifications is Ext4.
“linux fanotify kernel module” typed into duckduckgo.com produces a lot of fanotify info.
Pudge
Edit:
in a terminal window, lsmod lists all the kernel modules installed in the active kernel.
lsmod | grep fanotify
doesn’t show fanotify as part of the kernel on EnOS
Compile your own kernel with fanotify, or find a Archlinux oriented kernel with fanotify compiled into said kernel.
EDIT #2:
I noticed you were using the LTS kernel. I rebooted into linux-6.6.59-1-lts and it also did not list fanotify as installed in the kernel.
Hello
I’ve done a little research on the internet but haven’t quite figured it out
I am currently using the BTRFS file system. If it only works with ext4, then the issue is probably over
I don’t know how to compile my own kernel. I’m still too much of a beginner for that
