Re: Accessing FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE filesystems from 4.0-STABLE...

2000-03-25 Thread Alexander Langer

Thus spake Brad Knowles ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 upgraded it to 4.0-STABLE on a second hard drive, and I likewise 
 can't access the 4.0-STABLE filesystems from 3.4-STABLE.

If you don't tell us where it fails (and how), we can't help you.

Block/character device collapsing breaking you up now?

/dev/ Should only be character devices now.

I was surprised how many block devices were in my /dev when I did a ls
-l /dev | grep ^b.

Maybe we should put something in /etc/daily in -current to whine about
all block devices in /dev :-)

Well, there is a message in the boot scroll, but if you use a splash
screen you'll miss it (like I did until I started doing some boot debugging
recently). I was also pretty shocked at how much cruft I had. I took the
extreme route of 'rm *' and started from the beginning again.

At a slight tangent; could removal of block devices be the cause of
this message when starting the ddd debugger?

gdb: warning: cannot set file to non-blocking mode: Resource
temporarily unavailable

and when exiting:

gdb: warning: cannot restore file mode: Resource temporarily unavailable

Possibly trying to set a device (the pipe?) to non-blocking when it
already is?

Accessing FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE filesystems from 4.0-STABLE...

2000-03-24 Thread Brad Knowles

Folks,

I gotta be doing something stupid here.  I haven't been able to 
access the existing 3.4-STABLE filesystems on this machine since I 
upgraded it to 4.0-STABLE on a second hard drive, and I likewise 
can't access the 4.0-STABLE filesystems from 3.4-STABLE.

Anybody got any ideas what I might have done wrong, and what 
parts of the archives I should go searching in (and what I should be 
searching for ;-), in order to find the answers?


Thanks!
