Hello Patrick and list, I'm trying to do some more diagnostics on this problem. I've suggested a lpr -D5 which can show the minfree value, but I cannot see which magic -D flag to show what value minfree is being compared against.
I still haven't got a reply from him yet, so this bug is still tentative, but some debugging suggestions would help. http://bugs.debian.org/213195 - Craig ----- Forwarded message from Bill Luecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mail-Format-Warning: Bad RFC2822 header formatting in >From csmall Sun Sep 28 19:18:14 2003 Subject: Bug#213195: lprng: lpd calculates free disk space incorrectly Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-From: Bill Luecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Original-Sender: Bill Luecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-Cc: Craig Small <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 00:18:01 UTC Resent-Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Debian-PR-Message: report 213195 X-Debian-PR-Package: lprng X-Debian-PR-Keywords: From: Bill Luecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-Sender: Craig Small <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-8.1 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_01,DEBIAN_BTS_BUG,X_LOOP version=2.55 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp) Package: lprng Version: 3.8.22-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tin 2.2.18 #1 Thu Feb 15 17:31:42 EST 2001 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages lprng depends on: ii debconf 1.3.14 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.34+1.35-WIP-2003.08.21-3 The Common Error Description libra ii libkrb53 1.3-2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7b-2 SSL shared libraries -- debconf information: * lprng/start_lpd: true lprng/twolpd_perms: lprng/twolpd_conf: lprng/setuid_tools: false I hope I'm supposed to enter further info about this. I did a dist-upgrade in stable last week, and lpd stopped printing jobs over about 20k in size. I think this was caused because lpd is querying for free diskspace, and getting a number that is about 1/4000 too small. At one point "df" also returned these numbers that were off by that amount too, but that problem vanished when I did a dist-upgrade to testing. (I figured this out because while df was reporting much too small numbers for free diskspace, I tried printing a number of different files and found that the failure point was right at the amount of free space that df (incorrectly) reported.
