Changes in release 0.27:
* better support for Solaris 7 in 64-bit mode. Now 32 bit pioctl's
should also be handled. See INSTALL for more information on how to
build in 64-bits mode.
* new transarc-compatible programs klog, unlog, and tokens by Chris
Wing <wingc@engin.umich.edu>
* support for the getattr inode_operation on Linux which should give
``better'' inode numbers to the applications, requires the
getattr-patch to Linux.
* cache files in two levels of directories. NOTE: you should remove
your old cache files (rm /usr/arla/cache/* or similar) since these
will use different names
* support for generating root.afs in the client (dynroot)
* more bugs related to deleting files fixed
* uses the syscalls fhopen and getfh on NetBSD-current
* more test cases
* some more bug fixes
This is the hard-to-get-out of the door version, this is the third try.
========================================================================
WARNING: There is a couple of problems with this release.
* You have to wipe you cache (as noted above)
* On netbsd (and maybe other bsd's too) it leeks vnodes (probably
related to unlink() and rmdir() fixes) but we haven't found the
obvious bug yet.
========================================================================
The dynroot is a cool thing, try it (start arlad with -D). It generate
a local root.afs for you from CellServDB and you don't need a cell
when you boot. (It's really handy when you have a notepad that doesn't
have connectivity all the time, like when arlad starts).
/usr/arla/etc/ThisCell is now only used to figure out default cell for
commands like vos/pts/fs.
Enjoy,
Love, and the rest of the arla-drinkers.
