Crash with FBSD 3-3R, fdesc filesystem, tcsh. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG OK, this is really weird. I'm running fbsd 3-3 release (not for much longer; just needed to find the time to upgrade). I've got fdesc /dev fdesc rw,union 0 0 in /etc/fstab. I've got a strange problem which is causing the machine to hang. I wanted a look at /dev/sndstat, so I typed: > cat /dev/sn and the machine froze. Odd, but repeatable. No panic message (it's a tight hang, needs a reset to fix). echo /dev/sn* works fine. This is with the tcsh port tcsh 6.06.00 (Cornell) 1995-05-13 (i386-intel-FreeBSD) options 8b,nls,dl,al,rh It's not a big problem (I don't need /dev/fd generally anyway; umounting it and the problem goes away). I don't know if this problem is with 4.0-stable too, or actually if this is a known problem (can't connect to the bug database right now). And since I've got work to do, I don't have the time to repeatedly crash the machine right now to see what's going on. So this is all too vague for a problem report; I don't know if it's a problem with union mounts, the fdesc filesystem, or what. I just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue..? jan -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Unfortunately, I have a very good idea how fast my keys are moving.
