I had a hard time trying to decide where to post this. It's about a problem that's come up in fixing a broken port (which would mean ports list, usually) but it's a filesystem hacking problem (which would mean hackers), excepting that it hasn't anything at all to do with any system but current. I'm posting to current, and accepting all boos graciously. I have a very recently broke thing that was happily using a call to statfs, to tell if it was an NFS filesystem or not. Last time I had occasion to take a look at this, there were flags of the sort MOUNT_XXX, where the XXX could have been UFS, MFS, NFS, etc. The application is specifically looking for MOUNT_NFS, and it's just not around anymore, that I can find. I would be happy to find it, but I suspect that the method for detecting an NFS mounted FS has changed, so that the app should no longer use statfs. That's kind of odd, because this port works on a lot of other systems which seem to do that fine. Anyhow, anyone got a recommendation on how to change this thing so that it works under current? A real short history on what's changed in regards to this would be a nice thing to stick in the mail archives. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
