Kuhns" To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Subject: Running Linux FlagShip under FreeBSD-current Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm interested in running the Linux version FlagShip (an xbase-style database system) under FreeBSD-current, and I've run into a problem. I managed to get it installed by mangling the install shell scripts and `brand'ing some binaries, but when I try to run it it tells me that it "can only be run under the Linux operating system". Using kdump, I discovered that it says this when it can't open "/dev/full". Can anyone tell me what /dev/full is? If I can get around that, it looks like FlagShip should work. I used mknod to create a /dev/full with the same major/minor as /dev/null, but that failed also (with the same message), and none of the Linux systems or books I have access to mention /dev/full.
