Hi folks, Since upgrading/installing 2.2.2 on several of our machines cron is having trouble running scripts that are on an amd mounted partition. The reported error message is /path/scriptname: I/O error. The problem was also initially experienced when trying to run the scripts manually although after rebuilding the kernel and including the devfs facilities the situation improved. The situation appears to be as follows:- 1) if the required amd mount has already been made no problems are experienced under any circumstances. 2) if the required amd mount does not already exist manually running the script will succeed 95% or more of the time, cron however will fail 100% of the time. This is a change in behaviour since 2.2.1 (same scripts, same amd maps etc) and is driving me mad. If anyone knows of any timing changes that were made to 2.2.2 that are relevant to this problem or any other possible solution I would be very grateful. Please reply direct I'm not subscribed to questions. -- Dave Whitehead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMAIL:- | TELEPHONE (work):- (work) davew@sees.bangor.ac.uk | +44 1248 382703 (Direct line) (home) 100023.1076@compuserve.com | +44 1248 351151 ext 2703 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SNAIL MAIL:- Dave Whitehead School of Electronic Engineering & Computer Systems, University College of North Wales, Dean Street, Bangor LL57 1UT ------------------------------------------------------------------------
