Greetings!
I just compiled Arla 0.20 and noticed some major problems. The first
mistake was copying getcwd.so to /lib. I did this with all the other
versions with no major problems. My /etc/ld.so.preload has been
modified appropriately. As soon as I overwrote the old getcwd.so, the
system started responding to EVERY command with "Segmentation fault".
There was absolutely nothing I could do except press the reset
button. :( Fortunately, the system rebooted OK and I was even able to
log in and remove getcwd.so from ld.so.preload. Until I did that, I
couldn't start X (it complained about a missing __getcwd symbol).
So, whatever changed with getcwd managed to break it in a major way.
Incidentally, I used to be able to get pwd to work in AFS cells even
without it. Now, it doesn't.
On another note, the following produces a kernel panic message.
1. Go to an AFS cell.
2. Type "ls"
3. Before it has a chance to execute, hit Ctrl-c.
4. I see a message that says:
Message from syslogd@chinook at Thu Dec 24 16:30:49 1998 ...
chinook kernel: XFS Panic: xfs_message_installnode: dentry existed in cache && requested == 0
What is going on? Could this be related to the -z flag? Or is it
something else?
FYI, I'm using Debian Linux 2.2 beta (potato).
E-mail responses please.
Max
