Minnich" X-Sender: rminnich@terra To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: an interesting problem with pkg_add Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Here you go: I ran the following: pkg_add -f ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz Then I ^C because as usual our network connection got awful. As i write this, there is an rm -r running on /. I am losing my system. I'm going to let it go because it got too far before I caught it, the following clued me in: rm: /proc/0/segs: Read-only file system rm: /proc/0: Read-only file system etc, etc, etc. rm: /proc: Device busy It will be interesting to see how long this machine lasts with this rm running :-) anyway I think this indicates a bug in pkg_add :-) Eating all of one's hard disk is hardly a good thing. Guess I'll run linux on this machine for a while, til i get over the shock. ron Ron Minnich |Java: an operating-system-independent, rminnich@sarnoff.com |architecture-independent programming language (609)-734-3120 |for Windows/95 and Windows/NT on the Pentium ftp://ftp.sarnoff.com/pub/mnfs/www/docs/cluster.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
