I am stupid.  But the point still stays: having an image of pre-populated
filesystem (some other than ramfs) that you only need to load into
RAM seems more sutable than parsing tar format.  Maybe (probably) I am
missing something.

[2.4.2] APM unwanted wakeup from standby (kreiserfsd?)

2001-03-20 Thread Eugene Crosser

Gentlemen,

this might be somewhat offtopic but I could not find answers on the Net
and "official" APM page seems dramatically out of date...

I recently bought Casio Fiva mini notebook that has APM BIOS 1.2,
Linux APM support partly works.  "Hibernate" does not work at all,
but let it be.  "Standby" ("apm -S") puts the box in standby mode
but after 10..30 seconds it inevitably awakes with a message like
"Normal resume from standby".  This happens even if there are no
processes that would initiate disk/screen/whatever activity (single
user mode).

My suspect is kreiserfsd.  If I am right, could it be modified to
honor standby mode and stop disk access?  If I am wrong, does
anyone have suggestions/advice/ideas how to make standby mode work?
(advice on making hibernate work is also welcome)

I can confirm that mount over loopback hangs on 2.4.2 (from kernel.org),

I've seen hanging rsync over ssh more than once, while sending much data

1.2.26.  I had a feeling that it was triggered by certain data patterns

I have a cdrom with iso9660+RR filesystem, with a few hundred files in
ten directories.  With all previous kernels (checked up to test11-pre3),
I had no problems with it.  With test11 final, "ls" command shows
zero entries on the mounted CD, and each "ls" attempt causes this
kernel message:

_isofs_bmap: block < 0

If I open a file directly, it opens and is read fine, so it's only
readdir() that is not working.  Tell me if I need to provide more info.

2000-08-30 Thread Eugene Crosser

The problem that I reported for -test6 is still here:
I have a mounted CD.  "ls -l /mount/point" shows its directory.
If I do umount /mount/point, replace CD with another one
and mount on the same point (I did not try different mount point),
"ls -l" shows the directory from the *first* CD.  If I try
to "mount" and empty tray, then insert a CD and mount it,
I see the directory of the new CD.
