-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey,
I noticed a strange timeout issue with the "new" blkid applet. When running "blkid" on a busybox system (v1.13.1 and older versions too) where _NO_ floppy drive is connected (f.ex. Thinclients) or where the floppy drive needs some special kernel parameters, the command takes ages to complete. In dmesg I can then see entries like: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 ... On the Thinkpad Notebooks I worked around that by adding "floppy=thinkpad" to the kernel command line, but that is not a proper solution because my desktop "blkid" does not have the problem, so there must be something wrong in the device enumeration or something like that. Here's an example: [usenet-test - ~ #] /system/blkid -v blkid 1.0.0 (12-Feb-2003) [usenet-test - ~ #] /system/blkid /dev/hda1: LABEL="LXTC_BOOT" UUID="9406c03b-e4dc-4cbe-867a-b18d3fceec15" TYPE="ext2" [usenet-test - ~ #] This is blkid from my desktop system copied over to the thinclient. The command exits immediately printing the blkid for hda1, so, that works a treat. Now, blkid from busybox v1.13.1: [usenet-test - ~ #] blkid --help BusyBox v1.13.1 (2008-12-09 10:34:51 CET) multi-call binary Usage: blkid Print UUIDs of all filesystems. [usenet-test - ~ #] blkid - ---- now I have to wait for approx. 4m30s ---- /dev/ram0: LABEL="Compressed" TYPE="cramfs" /dev/hda1: LABEL="LXTC_BOOT" UUID="9406c03b-e4dc-4cbe-867a-b18d3fceec15" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" [usenet-test - ~ #] So, 4m30s is a bit tough in this case. Additionally, why does BB blkid show /dev/ram0 whereas the GNU(?) blkid doesn't? And, SEC_TYPE is also only in the BB output by default. ciao && thanks, - -- Alexander Griesser (Netzwerkadministration) E-Mail: [email protected] | Web: http://www.lkh-vil.or.at KABEG LKH Villach | Nikolaigasse 43 | 9500 Villach Tel.: +43 4242 208 3061 | Fax.: +43 4242 208 971 2061 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmRT6cACgkQ66HVD6KUm1oMlACgkYK3NcB7TA/kqPtRx2ZaCBNV qlcAoJyzEoJuvoX2v7fyYHZpS+3LDAsc =DfPC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
