--=-sJukczPl+AWWoBB5LKQ1 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If you have cycles, please test the following patch to devel/libvolumeid and let me know if you encounter any adverse issues. This patch increases the superblock buffer size from 0x11000 to 0x88000 since FreeBSD does not support lseek'ing correctly on certain device nodes (e.g. acd/cd). The upside of this patch is that UDF volumes should now be properly detected. There should be no downsides (except higher temporary memory usage by HAL's probers). If you do not have any UDF volumes, you should not notice any differences. To apply this patch, create devel/libvolumeid/files, and copy this patch (patch-util.h) into this directory, rebuild and reinstall libvolumeid, then restart hald. Be sure to take a snapshot of lshal BEFORE applying the patch, then another after applying the patch. There should be NO differences unless you have UDF volumes. http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/patch-util.h Joe --=20 Joe Marcus Clarke FreeBSD GNOME Team :: gnome@FreeBSD.org FreeNode / #freebsd-gnome http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome --=-sJukczPl+AWWoBB5LKQ1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFqUGwb2iPiv4Uz4cRAjakAJ0VbQL07SqSo/ASE6WO48v6iO02QgCcD3ij YMAEQCyiaXD6Jh01CXoRtWU= =scRb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-sJukczPl+AWWoBB5LKQ1--
