It looks like my install of amd is screwed up. Is there a way to rebuild
amd from source without rebuilding world?

This all looks OK, but look what happens when I try to load the amd.conf
file:
# amd -F /etc/amd.conf
AMDCONF: syntax error on line 2 (section global)
Here's the first two lines of the amd.conf file:
# cat -n /etc/amd.conf
1 # GLOBAL OPTIONS SECTION
2 [global]
3 auto_dir =/.amd_net
Line two is the syntax for the global section and is correct. I've tried
putting spaces around the word global. I've tried using other types of
brackets. Nothing works.
And there's another thing. The /etc/defaults/rc.conf file has a flags
line for amd:
# grep amd_flags /etc/defaults/rc.conf
bootparamd_flags="" # Flags to bootparamd
amd_enable="NO" # Run amd service with $amd_flags (or NO).
amd_flags="-a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map /net /etc/amd.map"
If I add an amd_flags section to /etc/rc.conf (which should override
what's in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, amd will not start:
# grep amd_flags /etc/rc.conf
amd_flags="-l /var/log/amd.log"
# /etc/rc.d/amd restart
Stopping amd.
Waiting for PIDS: 22821, 22821.
NFS access cache time=60
Starting amd.
# /etc/rc.d/amd status
amd is not running.
Apparently, when amd starts with the /etc/defaults/rc.conf settings, it
does not parse the /etc/amd.conf file, which allows it to run. But that
means I have to edit /etc/defaults/rc.conf if I want to make any changes
*and* I can't have an amd.conf file. Clearly this is not correct
behavior. So I'd like to rebuild amd and see if that fixes the problem,
but I don't want to rebuild world if I can avoid it.
One last thing. Is there any way to unmount nfs mounts without rebooting
the box? I've tried amq -u and umount without success. The mounts are
stale and have been that way for almost 24 hours now.
Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already
obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
