Recent change in directory g+s behavior (bug?)

2001-07-03 Thread Ken Brownfield
Somewhere between 2.4.5-pre1 and 2.4.6-pre3, the behavior of the setgid bit on directories has changed: 2.4.5-pre1: # mkdir foo # chgrp adm foo # chmod 2775 foo # cd foo # ls -las total 12 4 drwxrwsr-x3 root adm 4096 Jul 3 01:11 . 4 drwxr-xr-x6 root adm

Tracking down semaphore usage/leak

2001-06-26 Thread Ken Brownfield
With RedHat's new Samba 2.0.10 RPM (the one to patch the latest vulnerability) they seem to have sniffed enough glue to start using SysV IPC semaphores which apparently leak until SEM??? are reached. semget() is returning "No space left on device", and disk/inodes/memory are all fine.

Or you could keep your hardware and try the Intel driver, which seems to work fine. It only works as a module, though. This might also help narrow the issue to a driver vs. card vs. mobo/BIOS/IRQ/APIC/etc issue. Personally, I've found the EtherExpress hardware and eepro100 driver to be

I'd be forced to agree. I have 2.4.x in limited production, and with the exception of the HP/APIC fatal issues that have a "noapic" work-around, I have had no problem at all with any of the 2.4.x kernels I've used. Open software by definition will never reach the kind of monolithic

I have some info at "http://web.irridia.com/linux/; from an LPr having issues, including the dmidecode output and a mostly complete boot-time dmesg dump from an LPr and LP1000r. The LPr was running 2.4.2-pre4 and the LP1000r is running 2.4.5-pre1, both without "noapic". Please let me know

I'm losing the timer interrupt, but it's not driver-specific -- only the motherboard is required to reproduce for me; different SCSI, RAID, and ether drivers have been swapped out. Nothing with "HP" on it seems to work, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that HP's stuff is

The failure mode I'm seeing is that the timer interrupt disappears. Hard to schedule processes at that point. I'm not seeing the IRQ issues personally. HP's LP1000r machine uses ServerWorks, but still shows the problem. I only have access to HP SMP hardware currently, but they all have the

I just wanted to throw in my two cents and say that there appear to be widespread issues with the APIC code in 2.4.x. I'm tempted to stick my neck out and say that it might be best to disable SMP IOAPIC by default until APIC can be massaged, at least for a wider variety of hardware. I'm
