	mkefs now uses a reserved inode (inode #2) to store the bad blocks.
This inode does not appear in the filesystem tree any more because it was
leading to problems (root could delete the .badblocks file or save it during
a backup).

	So, even if you don't see a .badblocks file with ls, don't worry.  The
bad blocks are recorded and won't be use in the fs.

Are you using a csh variant on the sun?

the csh automatically "nohups" all processes it places in the background.
sh variants (like bash) do not do this and one must use matt's suggestion
to get that functionality.

I took out ulimit (), which is not supported by kernel, from libc.a 4.2.
I will put the one using getrlimit/setrlimit in libc 4.2. But I still

Date: 18 Dec 92 12:42:56 GMT
Organization: Naval Medical Research & Development Command

Hello,

	A question about the Linux libraries.  From the activists mailing
list, I see that the libraries are undergoing a lot of changes.  Can 
anyone tell me:

	1) When libraries settle, will there be a new GCC distribution?
                                  ------------------------------------

	2) In current GCC distribution, are the most recent libraries
           on the "libdisk" or the individual libraries described in
           the ChangeLog file.  The ChangeLog file describes many changes
           to the libraries, but is dated OLDER than the "libdisk"
           itself.  I assume "libdisk" is more recent than the changes
           listed in the older ChangeLog file, but can anyone verify this.
                                                   ---------------------- 
           (I ftp from tsx-11.mit.edu).

	3) Are there any known problems with the "/usr/lib/libtermcap.sa"
           file in the "libdisk" from GCC.

This is caused by a bad `specs'. It will be fixed in gcc 2.3.3. I am
sorry we have to wait for it. I don't want to see a buggy gcc 2.3.2 floating
around. The problem is the shared version of libgcc.a is linked if -g
is used during the final link stage. Since my current configuraion may be
very different from yours, I cannot give you my `specs'. If you are using
the alpha gcc 2.3.2, you should not have this problem. The
solutions are

1. Do

	gcc xxxxxxxxxxx -c -g foo.c
	gcc -o foo foo.o foo1.o ... # no -g

   This is what I am doing although

	gcc -g -o foo foo.o

   works for me. That saves quite a lot disk space. The only drawback
   is you cannot debug libc.a with this (Do you want to?).

2. Fix `specs' if you know how.

If you're using LILO to boot, please upgrade to LILO 0.7. 0.98pl6 and 0.99
use some new fields in the boot sector to store configuration information
that were not initialized by earlier versions of LILO.

Yes, but you also need to 
	cd lib; ln -sf /lib/libc.so.4.2 libc.so.4

or else your system won't be able to find 'libc.so.4' which should
be a symlink to the actual library file.

Actually, it's "dd if=Image of=/dev/fd0".  And, it's *not* "disk dumper".
According to the manpage for dd(1), it's "dd - convert and copy a file".
dd does *much* more than just copy files.  In unix, as in life, there are
several ways to do the same thing - and one way isn't necessarily better

It does indeed not work under pl5.  I was hoping it would work under pl6,

However, by now, you might have seen my message, I _HAVE_ tried recompil-

AND IT _STILL_ BOMBS WITH A SEGMENTATION FAULT AND DUMPS CORE!!!!!!!

The software I'm using is patchlevel 6 of the kernel, gcc 2.2.2dm
shared libraries 4.1 (I think; whatever came with the SLS pl5 dist.).

I've traced the problem to a sigaction() call in the usset_signal()

gdb.

Only one other option I haven't tried; try uucico under pl5 now that I

Date: 17 Dec 92 01:37:59 GMT
Organization: State University of New York at Buffalo/Comp Sci
Originator: stock@armstrong.cs.buffalo.edu


Hello all,
  I'm having problems getting my mouse (and therefore X) and my modem to work at
the same time.  I originally had the mouse as ttys0, and the modem and ttys2.  My
mouse would work fine as long as I wasn't using the modem.  If I ENTERED kermit
(not "c"onnecting), or cat'ed the modem, the mouse would not respond.  Once I
exited kermit/cat, things would return to normal.
  I'm almost certain this is an IRQ conflict of some sort.  I have a serial line
on ttys1 with isn't afflicted with these problems.  It happens when I'm not
running X as well, so X isn't the problem.  Because I need to be able to use all
three ports at the same time (or would like to), I'm not satisfied with just
switching the connections between s0 and s1.  
  Has anyone else had this problem?  Better yet, is there a solution?  I haven't
modified the serial line parameters at all (IRQ's, addresses, etc).  I also found
this to be a problem in 0.98p5, but it was fine in 0.98p0.  Any help is
appreciated.
Thanks,

Most of the modern unix or unix like implementations avoid using
/dev/kmem kind of interface exactly for the above reasons.
In the absence of a standard interface it is still much cleaner
to devise your own kernel interface. When a standard interface is defined
you can either revise your interface, or insert a user space conversion
layer between your interface and the user.

It might be OK to keep recompiling user code on a hacker's system,
but any commercial release tries to avoid touching the user code
during system updates.

If you want a really BAD example of what happens when one hacks /dev/kmem
look no further than GNUmake. GNUmake needs access to the machine loading info,
and it was designed to retrieve it from /dev/kmem rather than using a generic
module that would retrieve it from wherever it can. This resulted in a design
where GNUmake must run with euid=0 (at least at times that it accesses kmem),
and toggle uid back whenever it touches real files. This is unfortunately
impossible to do with a single executable (you need two, one suid) under POSIX
or Sys V, so GNUmake will not work on these machines. The bad part is that
since the whole /dev/kmem concept was so tightly built in, there is no way
to fix this easily, a fix would require a major redesign and consequently
they (FSF) won't even address this issue.

   I have a question regarding LILO being able to boot my MS-DOS or Linux
drive.  My primary drive is a RLL drive that Linux is installed on while
my MS-DOS drive is a SCSI drive on an UltraStor 24F which is not recognized
currently by Linux.  Can I still have LILO boot my MS-DOS drive?  If not
is there a program that I can write a boot sector on the RLL drive and have
it boot the SCSI drive DOS and then use bootlin in DOS to boot linux??
   My second question is regarding mkfs.  I currently have a list of cylinder,
heads, and sector that are bad on the RLL drive and would like to tell Linux
not to use those sectors.  mkfs I assume wants a list of blocks, is there
an easy way for me to do the conversion from cyl, head, sector to block?

Is there any possibility to give normal users the right to mount
floppy drives???? I've been trying it with different success (it works only
when floppys already in at boot time........)

May anybody help me???????

Thanks for all

no, it doesn't seem to a 'less' problem. but last i checked my 'groff'
binary uses the old stat() call too, and i understand 'man' execs
