File System Kernel Module

File System Kernel Module so that it works with the updated kernel. Compiling the Novell Client
Virtual File System Module kernel requires the following steps:
1. Ensure that the right packages are installed on your workstation so that the kernel module can
be compiled.

workstation.

to repeat this step.
