>Number: 5127 >Category: conf >Synopsis: Can't mount mfs file system larger than 38mb from fstab >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Nov 22 06:00:00 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Andrew Cagney >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386 >Environment: Almost vanila 2.2.5 - Kernel configured with: options CHILD_MAX=128 options OPEN_MAX=128 options "MAXDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)" options "DFLDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)" A 500mb swap partition. >Description: Given the /etc/fstab entries: /dev/wd1b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 /dev/wd1b /mnt mfs rw,noauto 0 0 then, afer booting, mounting /mnt gives a very large (256mb) MFS /mnt. However /tmp's file system (mounted during boot) is only 38MB. Remounting the file system sorts out the problem (assming nothing is using /tmp :-) >How-To-Repeat: Reboot the system with the above kernel and FSTAB changes. Make /dev/wd1b >= 256mb. >Fix: Add/edit the lines below to /etc/rc after the edited line: mount -a -t nonfs,mfs if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo "Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted" exit 1 fi # Add mfs file systems now that all the swap is available ( ulimit -d unlimited && mount -a -t mfs ) if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo "Memory Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted" exit 1 fi >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:home | help
