Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello guys (girls ?), I fixed a couple of bugs in FreeBSD-950412-SNAP. I thought it great to include them in your next release. DESCRIPTION: ~~~~~~~~~~~ These are: -> in yp_order() in lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c which caused some NIS programs to crash, -> in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/ultra14f.c which caused SCSI errors not to be reported. For example, when doing a multi-volume restore, the end of tape is not detected and restore hangs indefinitely reading null bytes instead of EOF. -> in /usr/src/sys/scsi/(st.c,scsi_tape.h) -> and /usr/src/usr.bin/mt.* I added QFA (quick file access) commands which can be used on the Archive Viper 150 (SCSI-1, 250Mb, QIC-150). You can do "mt tell" and "mt seek blk_no", see the updated manpage. I don't really know how to send you the patches, maybe you'd like diff files but I changed the code indentation to the one used by EMACS. GETTING THEM: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The total size is 144k. You can get them on our ftp server ftp://ftp.cpc.wmin.ac.uk/pub/archive/FreeBSD/patches-from-950412 (expanded) or ftp://ftp.cpc.wmin.ac.uk/pub/archive/FreeBSD/patches-from-950412.tar.gz (guess what it is !) ------------ I hope you will find them useful. Best regards and keep the good work going on !
