oddity with dump(8) or sa(4) in -current

2001-07-12 Thread Jim Bryant
This is a new issue [was not present in -current a few months ago]. Attempting a dump to an HP C1533A DDS-2 drive, dump seems to freeze the tape at EOT. Inserting the next volume of the dump and typing yes only produces write errors. Performing an `mt rewind`, prior to typing yes clears the

Okay, I just built it successfully without WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes. I also noticed that my linuxthreads lib was linuxthreads-2.1.2, and I'm rebuilding it with the linuxthreads-2.2.3_1 sources. Afterwards, I'll try the compile again. Jim Bryant wrote: I forgot to add: I am using the make

Okay, AFTER rebuilding linuxthreads with the most recent port, IT DID make it past gen_lex_hash. Word to the wise, if you haven't rebuilt linuxthreads, I suggest you do to avoid the problems I have had. Again, I am running -current of the early hours [CDT] of Sunday morning. Jim Bryant wrote

Am I desynched? I went to single-user, tried to do a fsck -s, and found there is no such option. Also, the /etc/fstab didn't need changed at all. It is already proper. Needless to say, going to single-user, running just `fsck -y /dev/ad0s1g` fixed the problem, although it noted no errors.

I am getting this with regularity now. The one time I was available to see the panic, I forgot to go into the debugger and do a traceback, but it had something to do with a mwrite, and had a line concerning [maybe a buffer is?]... I know this isn't much to go on, but that's what I have.
