If a file on a read-only volume is given as an argument to "fs whereis",
backup locations will also be given for files which follow it on the command
line which are on read-write volumes:
% fs whereis /mit/consult /mit/kkkken
File /mit/consult is on hosts ARTEMIS.MIT.EDU ORF.MIT.EDU
File /mit/kkkken is on hosts HELEN.MIT.EDU ORF.MIT.EDU
% fs whereis /mit/kkkken /mit/consult
File /mit/kkkken is on host HELEN.MIT.EDU
File /mit/consult is on hosts ARTEMIS.MIT.EDU ORF.MIT.EDU
Not quite correct. If you do the following, the bug is more apparent:
attach register probe
fs whereis /mit/register /mit/probe
You will notice that the additional machine fields are not zeroed, thus
"probe" has its location plus the second,third,fourth locations of
"register".
I will see about making a fix for it and sending it off to Transarc.
