Hi,
I've been sitting on these patches for a couple of months now. I haven't
seen anyone else comment on this, but CFS 1.4 does not work under Solaris
2.7 on the Sparc 5 or Ultra boxes I've tried it on.
Apparently, the problem is due to the fact that CFS uses the expression
(0-x), where x is some small positive integer, to generate a file ids
for directories mounted under the cfs mount point. Solaris 2.7 uses
64-bit numbers for file ids and winds up expanding this to a number in
the 2^63 range. This then breaks a number of utilities like ls and
pwd making the system unusable (ls actually attempts to allocate some
unreasonably large amount of memory before blowing up). The patches
included below attempt to address this problem in a reasonable fashion
that should work on all versions of Solaris (I've only tested it under
2.7, however).
Thanks go to Bill Soley for helping me track down this problem.
