lsof: can't determine device random seed
I'm running 7.0-RC1 amd64 and having an issue with lsof. # lsof lsof: can't determine user device random seed. Anyone seen this problem and have a fix? -- Jeffrey Lehman http://digitalguy.net GPG Key fingerprint = 3087 CED0 57F7 3BD3 14E7 969B EE14 BADA D619 8CF5 pgps3qb4jc986.pgp Description: PGP signature

Anyone seen this problem and have a fix? Do you also have a zfs root? That's what triggers it for me. There's no mention of a device random seed anywhere in the kernel source, so I just patched lsof to always return OK and a seed of zero from dev2udev, and everything seems to work okay. Try putting the attached patch in the files subdirectory of the lsof port and rebuild. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- dialects/freebsd/dmnt.c 2007-11-17 23:02:29.748574401 -0600 +++ dialects/freebsd/dmnt.c 2007-11-17 23:02:29.750579975 -0600 @@ -180,6 +180,8 @@ dev2udev_no_space: } break; } + + ss = 1; /* * Free string copies, as required. */ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
