A.0 Linux Distributions Supported by Protect

PlateSpin Protect software includes pre-compiled versions of the blkwatch driver for many non-debug Linux distributions (32-bit and 64-bit). This section includes the following information:

NOTE:Currently, when you add a Linux workload for protection, the product interface might display a message informing you that the system is

Unable to find a compiled version of the block-based kernel driver to exactly
match the kernel on this Linux workload....

The message advises further to build a block based driver upon the next replication.

This validator message is likely inaccurate, due to the addition of hundreds of newly-supported Linux distributions for which Protect has a pre-compiled version of the blkwatch driver. If your workload (that is, the Linux distribution) matches an entry on the list in this section, you can ignore the message and continue.
