Re: Remove SVR2 support from mountlist
Hi Tim, > /tmp/df-nm.gz /tmp/df-truss.gz Indeed, it opens "/etc/mnttab", reads from it, then calls statfs() on each file system. It may also call sysfs(). So, that's really the SVR3 approach. I couldn't believe it, but they haven't improved this functionality in 30 years, and are still selling this for money! OK, so let's keep SVR3 support in, but remove SVR2 and the other listed ones. And also AIX for PS/2, which was last released in 1992 [1]. Bruno [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_AIX#IBM_PS/2_series

The only syscall I see is SI86GETFEATURES.
I've attached the nm and truss output (gziped) in case I've misunderstood
what you are asking for.
I had a look at mountlist.c and the
"#if defined MOUNTED_FREAD || defined MOUNTED_FREAD_FSTYP" section looks
just like what is needed for OpenServer 5.

I would propose to remove support for a couple of extremely old platforms as well: - Cray/UNICOS 9. This was apparently released in 1996 [1] and still a portability target in 2005 [2]. - Ultrix. Last release was in 1995 [3]. A portability target up to 2005 [4]. - SVR3 (released in 1987) and SVR2 (released in 1984) [5]. - DolphinOS (a particular SVR3) [6]. - DECstation (defined decstation). Last released in 1994. [7] - Dynix/ptx (defined _SEQUENT_, defined sequent). Released in 1992. [8] - Sony NEWS (defined sony_news). Last released in 1993. [9] - ardent (last released in 1988). [10] - tek4300 (must have existed in 1988). [11] - alliant (before 1992). [12] - ConvexOS (defined convex). Last release before 1995. [13] GCC support removed in GCC 3.3 [14], i.e. in 2003. - HP-UX on m68k (defined hp9000s300). Last released in 1991. [15] In all modules (fsusage, mountlist, getloadavg in particular).
