How to Install Btier on Debian Wheezy

Btier - software for creating block devices that implement the principle of multi-level storage . This approach allows the use of expensive fast SSD drives to increase the speed of storage systems on slow HDDs. Details can be found on the links.

Attempting to install on instructions in Debian Wheezy was not successful. Searches on the Internet also lead to nothing. After a brief shamanism, I still managed to compile a kernel module, which I want to share with you.

So, the instructions for compiling the module:
1. Install the headers and kernel sources

apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 linux-source 

2. Unpack the source file

 cd /usr/src tar xvf linux-source-3.2.tar.bz2 

3. We prepare source codes

 cd linux-source-3.2 make oldconfig && make prepare 

4. Change the link

 cd /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64 rm build ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-3.2 build 

5. Copy the necessary elements

 cd /usr/src/ cp linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64/Module.symvers linux-source-3.2 cp linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64/scripts/mod/* linux-source-3.2/scripts/mod/ 

6. Download the desired version of the btier archive and follow the installation instructions.
