Ok, here is an interesting problem for everyone, I try to tail a specifc file on a CD that I burned, and tail(1) produces no output, and just seg-faults, wihout a core dump, and the following errors are written to syslog: Jan 24 11:17:49 phoenix /kernel: vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 19547 failure Jan 24 11:17:49 phoenix /kernel: pid 19547 (tail), uid 1000: exited on signal 11 That sems to suggest there may be something wrong with my paging partition.... only it is consistent with only that one file, and only on the cd, I can cp(1) it to the /tmp partition and tail it fine (a diff of th 2 files reports no diferences), and I use many memory intense applications, tail is the only program on my system that is tickling this problem. Any suggestions (I am running 2.2-STABLE CVSUP-ed from a week ago with no other problems, on a Pentium 133, with 64M of RAM) -- David Cross UNIX Systems Administrator GE Corporate R&D
