To: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org cc: iedowse@maths.tcd.ie, Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com> Subject: SIGINFO handler for fsck(8) Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 21:19:19 +0000 From: Ian Dowse <iedowse@maths.tcd.ie> I've had this patch lying around here for a while - it adds a simple SIGINFO handler to fsck(8) so you can tell what it's doing by pressing Ctrl-T. The output will be something like: ^T load: 0.14 cmd: fsck_ufs 10473 [physstr] 2.12u 0.30s 8% 2016k /dev/da0s1f: phase 1: cyl group 26 of 60 (43%) ^T load: 0.12 cmd: fsck_ufs 10473 [physstr] 4.00u 0.49s 11% 2804k /dev/da0s1f: phase 2: dir 488 of 27965 (1%) Is this a feature we want in fsck? It doesn't really help except to give you something to do while waiting for a huge filesystem to be checked :-) I guess it also allows you to see if fsck is actually getting anywhere. Ian Looks like a good idea to me. I am happy to have you commit it. Kirk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
