Some Nagios developpers says that the problem is in FreeBSD and some other says that the problem is in nagios pthreads implementation, here a resume of our discussions : From http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pthread_atfork.html It is suggested that programs that use fork() call an exec function very soon afterwards in the child process, thus resetting all states. In the meantime, only a short list of async-signal-safe library routines are promised to be available. Note *suggested*. This is a recommendation to protect against a shoddy pthread-implementation. The thread specifications rule that only the thread calling fork() is duplicated, which initially leads to the recommendation (other threads holding locks aren't around to release them in the new execution context). They choose to quote a weak reference to the actual requirement. The standard says (in the fork() section): A process shall be created with a single thread. If a multi-threaded process calls fork(), the new process shall contain a replica of the calling thread and its entire address space, possibly including the states of mutexes and other resources. Consequently, to avoid errors, the child process may only execute async-signal-safe operations until such time as one of the exec functions is called. Fork handlers may be established by means of the pthread_atfork() function in order to maintain application invariants across fork() calls. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

pthread functions swallowing stdout, and stderr?
Howdy, I'm working on my SoC project, where one of the important, yet broken, functions is being called from pthread_once() I have printf()'s before the pthread_once() call to help me debug, and printf()'s after the pthread_once() call, but the function that is called in pthread_once() has printf()'s inside it that never output to stdout :/ Here are some links in case I'm not making sense: http://perforce.freebsd.org/fileViewer.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/ soc2005/launchd/liblaunch.cREV=7 The function that calls pthread_once() is launch_msg() on line 692, the pthread_once() calls launch_client_init() on line 119.

Project BSDVISION Wants To Develop Native *BSD Console Desktop
For many people who spend a lot of time on the *BSD console and would love to have a desktop environment comparable to KDE/GNOME, I'm starting a project called BSDVISION to develop such an environment. Please don't ask if such an environment is really needed or not; the important thing is that some people like me need it badly enough to want to develop it. As a matter of fact, it has been in development for some time now and I think it's getting to the point where it makes sense to ask for community involvement. But I'm not looking for developers because development will continue to be done by myself with the assistance of paid contractors. What I'm looking for is people to maintain a community infrastructure (web site, mailing list, online forum, webcvs/svn, etc) which a community project like this needs in order to appeal to as many people as possible. So if you love the BSD console and would like to see it sport a complete desktop environment, the bsdvision project can really use your support. And since this project developed from an attempt to do a cleanroom implementation of libh, we'll be using the old libh mailing list until we have another one. Come help us make *BSD a truly complete platform with the best console desktop environment in the universe :-) Cheers ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe another possible solution would be a memory backed md device unioned over a flash device? Anyhow, a cheap solution would be 2 flash devices mirrored with gmirror. By the time it burns up, you'll be able to swap it with the same size for half the price, and if you put them on different IDE channels or use usb, you can do it live.
