mg: fix problems found by gcc 10
The latest version of gcc is more picky about global variables resulting in this bug report for my portable version of mg: https://github.com/hboetes/mg/issues/12 To which Ulrich Müller created a pull request which fixed the problem: https://github.com/hboetes/mg/pull/13/files Is this worth applying to the upstream branch?
OpenBSD mirror lag measurement.
Hi there, I noticed patch #8 was already more than 2 days late from the mirror I was using. To find out which servers are more or less up to date I wrote a little script and here is the output. This is of course a snapshot in time, on the other hand I hope this list will benefit the community, either by admins improving the syncing of their mirrors where needed, and admins on mission critical systems getting better insight in which servers are really up to date. 1495393201: https://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is up to date 1495393201: https://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is up to date 1495393201: https://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is up to date 1495389601: https://openbsd.delfic.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is 1 hour(s) late 1495389601: https://openbsd.cs.toronto.edu/pub/OpenBSD/ is 1 hour(s) late 1495389601: https://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is 1 hour(s) late 1495389601: https://ftp4.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is 1 hour(s) late 1495389601: http://openbsd.mirrors.hoobly.com/ is 1 hour(s) late 1495386001: https://mirrors.sonic.net/pub/OpenBSD/ is 2 hour(s) late 1495386001: https://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/OpenBSD/ is 2 hour(s) late 1495386001: https://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is 2 hour(s) late 1495386001: http://mirrors.gigenet.com/pub/OpenBSD/ is 2 hour(s) late 1495382401: https://mirror.esc7.net/pub/OpenBSD/ is 3 hour(s) late 1495378801: https://openbsd.mirror.netelligent.ca/pub/OpenBSD/ is 4 hour(s) late 1495378801: https://openbsd.mirror.garr.it/pub/OpenBSD/ is 4 hour(s) late 1495378801: https://mirror.meerval.net/pub/OpenBSD/ is 4 hour(s) late 1495378801: http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ is 4 hour(s) late 1495375201: https://openbsd.hk/pub/OpenBSD/ is 5 hour(s) late 1495375201: https://openbsd.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/OpenBSD/ is 5 hour(s) late 1495375201: http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/OpenBSD/ is 5 hour(s) late 1495371601: https://mirrors.syringanetworks.net/pub/OpenBSD/ is 6 hour(s) late 1495371601: https://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/pub/OpenBSD/ is 6 hour(s) late 1495371601: https://ftp.bit.nl/pub/OpenBSD/ is 6 hour(s) late 1495371601: http://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/OpenBSD/ is 6 hour(s) late 1495364401: https://mirrors.evowise.com/pub/OpenBSD/ is 8 hour(s) late 1495353601: http://mirrors.mit.edu/pub/OpenBSD/ is 11 hour(s) late 1495350001: http://ftp.bytemine.net/pub/OpenBSD/ is 12 hour(s) late 1495339201: http://kartolo.sby.datautama.net.id/pub/OpenBSD/ is 15 hour(s) late 1495335601: https://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/OpenBSD/ is 16 hour(s) late 1495335601: http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/OpenBSD/ is 16 hour(s) late 1495335601: http://ftp2.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ is 16 hour(s) late 1495332001: https://ftp.hostserver.de/pub/OpenBSD/ is 17 hour(s) late 1495324801: http://mirror.rise.ph/pub/OpenBSD/ is 19 hour(s) late 1495321201: http://mirrors.pidginhost.com/pub/OpenBSD/ is 20 hour(s) late 1495321201: http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/pub/OpenBSD/ is 20 hour(s) late 1495274401: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 1 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://www.mirrorservice.org/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://openbsd.ipacct.com/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://mirrors.dalenys.com/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://mirror.yandex.ru/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://mirror.one.com/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://mirror.litnet.lt/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://mirror.hs-esslingen.de/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://ftp.spline.de/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://ftp.fau.de/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: https://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: http://www.obsd.si/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: http://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: http://ftp.aso.ee/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495188002: http://artfiles.org/openbsd/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495177201: https://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1495155601: http://mirrors.unb.br/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 2 day(s) late. 1494626401: http://piotrkosoft.net/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 8 day(s) late. 1494226801: https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 13 day(s) late. 1491948001: https://mirrors.ucr.ac.cr/pub/OpenBSD/ more than 39 day(s) late. : Mirror https://www.ftp.ne.jp/pub/OpenBSD/ is unreachable

So my questions are: is there a program in /sbin:/bin that can decompress .gz compressed files? Or should there be? Would it not be nice to be able to untar e.g base43.tgz from single user mode without having to mount /usr? basexx.tgz will unpack files in /usr which is not mounted.

Re: You can't export non-ffs filesystems with NFS, and it isn't documented
Alexander Hall wrote: The problem is that nfs shares does not traverse file system mount points once initialized. Since nfs probably was started prior to mounting the msdos partition (with the noauto option in /etc/fstab), nfs would only share the contents of the mount point directory itself. A ``pkill -HUP mountd'' might help after mounting the msdos file system, in order to make mountd aware of the new file system overriding the mount point directory. I'm sorry, it doesn't work like you expect.

Set both IDE disks to 'master' and put them on separate IDE channels. Cheers, what a difference! Not a bug, eey? Not a software bug, anyways...As Art pointed out, the hardware does not appear to be responding properly. It is never a recommended practice to put multiple devices on a single IDE channel, as IDE has no method of dealing with bus contention (like select/release in SCSI). I only do it when one disk is low-usage (second disk with just MP3s on it, or whatever) and the other channel is already in use. Yes I am aware that it is recommended to put HDs on a different ide channel. I just forgot about it and I never had any problems with it until about some 3.9 snapshot started misbehaving. And it never improved even though I found some cvs log messages that promised to fix the `syncing disks...' bug. And the behaviour was erratic so I never sure when it started, what started it and when it may have been fixed. So it's the typical situation where one problem is triggered by a change pretending it's another problem. Which made it very hard for me to figure out since it didn't seem to make sense. Anyway, my request: I'd like it if the kernel would behave more gracefully incase of a setup where more than one HD is on the same IDE channel. # Han

No. It all depends on what you want and what your situation is. if so, why not install with no root account by default? It isn't so. :-) But if you want it, nothing will stop you from setting up like you want. It's just two minutes of work. Just don't expect others to choose the same. # Han

That's what I did, and I didn't find any too suspicious character after tr'ing away all the normal characters. I think I will start adjusting the prune path as another method.

Re: problem with locate
Hi, Thanks for your suggestions. Here is what I found. Please let me know if you need more information. This error happens only with the /mnt/mp3 filesystem. Just to make sure it was not a filesystem inconsistency I fsck'ed it. It turned out to be fine. This is what mount returns: /dev/wd1a on /mnt/mp3 type ffs (NFS exported, local, noatime, nodev, nosuid, softdep) And the df output: ~% df -h /mnt/mp3 Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd1a 230G217G2.0G99%/mnt/mp3 To make debugging that a bit easier I did the following: sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb --searchpath=/mnt/mp3/Klassiek/Schoenberg/PelleasundMelisande which also reproduces the bug.

Indeed, if everyone in the world would use greylisting the spammers would all adjust to the new filtering method. The end-result is that mail gets slower. Is this a bad thing? Not really since only the initial message gets delayed for 30 minutes. Does it hurt normal people? Nope! Real people are barely hindered by a mere 30 minute delay in the arrival of an emailmessage, since they usually send only a few a day and no urgent reply is required most of the time. Does it hit spammers? You bet it does! They depend on fast emailnetworks which gobble up their every message. If email traffic is slowed down by greylists the servers have the time of the world to verify if a message is spam or not. And if a mailserver sends spam or not. # Han

I think people pay too much attention to this. Some clown made a bombastic statement about how things have been working for ages.

Now you are making a broad generalisation. It's like saying all muslims are terrorists or all USA people support Bush. I prefer if you keep a neutral stance on the group and reserve your critisism for Greg Kroah Hartmann. For instance Linus Torvalds is firmly against NDA (http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/12/361) If you wouldn't say stuff like this I wouldn't even bother replying. None of this is new, none of this is surprising. Why give him more than his 15 minutes of fame by spreading his I will bend over for documentation bullshit even further? And if you like conspiracy theories, notice that he's working for Novell and this NDA is good, give us more NDA stance is consistent with the still fresh Novell-Microsoft deal that was (in short): patents are good, give us more patents.

Why do you pursue your goal in this way even though Linus and RMS and many other firmly oppose signing NDA's for very good reasons? You are helping Vendors to keep a lock on the documentation.
