My root cron jobs haven't run since A.M. of the fourth.  (All the
usual junk mail I expect from them wasn't there.) Thanks for the tip
on how to get them going again!!  I'm running 4.0.3 on a 3/160,

Remember that "df" checks the count of free blocks in the filesystem
iteself.  "du" must recursively check directory trees.

If a process has a  file open and you remove the last link to it,
the file does not go away until the process exits.  "Du", however, will
not be able to find the file, and so it will not report it.  The blocks
in this invisible file are still accounted for in the filesystem and so
df will report these blocks as used.

If you kill off the process that's got the file open, the system will
free the blocks and they will magically reappear in the df output.

This is why it is usually a bad idea to rm a log file that a daemon
writes.  If the daemon keeps the file open, all you've done is make
it impossible to access the file.  The daemon will just continue to
write to the file and it will continue to grow.

The problem lies in the Sun SCSI tape driver.  If it gets an interrupt
when no /dev/tape device is open, it wrongly ignores the interrupt.  The
Exabyte then refuses to talk to you until the interrupt is acknowledged
which never occurs.  Your only recourse is to power cycle the drive.

This happens most often when you insert brand new (virgin) tapes
that have no tape id mark at the load point.  This generates an I/O 'error'
which ought to be harmless but if no /dev/tape is open, it hoses you.
Data 'certified' tapes often have the file mark already written,
which is why they work and your garden variety video tapes won't.

Keywords: modem 3/50
Date: 6 Apr 92 05:56:04 GMT
Article-I.D.: jli.1575
Organization: Johnson-Laird Inc.

I am trying to add a Hayes Optima 9600 to ttya on a Sun 3/50
running 3.5. The intent was to have the Sun/Modem link run at
9600 baud, but have the Modem/CommLine run at whatever the
modem negotiated. The modem is capable of converting the CommLine
baud rate to 9600, although it relies on the Sun to observe
RTS/CTS protocol when, for example, the CommLine is running at
only 2400 baud.

I've made all the relevant changes to /etc/ttys and /usr/lib/L.sys.
The problem is that (as I can tell from using an RS232 line monitor),
the 3/50 is not actually observing RTS/CTS protocol. Having RTFMd
extensively, I found that the eeprom showed ttya_no_rtsdtr=false.

Assuming that ttya_no_rtsdtr means what it says (ie: false means
that there is NO rts/dtr protocol), I would seem to be set correctly.
Just for the hell of it, I changed it over to ttya_no_rtsdtr=true,
and rebooted.

No diff. The 3/50 still continutes to send data when the modem
drops CTS (and, of course, the modem therefore scrogs up the
data it transmits.)

Anyone know how to get a 3/50 under SunOS 3.5 to stop transmitting
when CTS is de-asserted? Could it be that Sun, in their wisdom
is looking at the modem to lower DTR or RTS instead of CTS when
the modem is "full?"

Thanks in advance

I suspect this is a FAQ, but I don't recall having seen it fly by in
the recent past:

I notice that the arrow keys don't work for tcsh history recall under
OpenWindows (OW2, SunOS 4.1.1) on our Sparcs, even though they do work
just fine under vanilla X (X11R3?) on our Sun3s (SunOS 4.0.3).  Also,
the arrow keys work just fine under SunView, both on our Sparcs and on
our Sun3s.  Ditto when running with no window system at all.

Am I right to presume that OpenWindows mucks around with key mappings
somehow, to screw things up?  As someone who knows little about either
X or tcsh, I'd appreciate a pointer to what to twiddle to make arrow
keys work under tcsh and OpenWindows.  TIA.

O.K., I need help with installing a system so that it does not destroy
everything that is currently on the disk (i.e, the /usr partition).  I
have never installed a Sun system before, and the situation I find myself
in is rather strange.

I work for a student newspaper, and since the staff rolls over VERY
quickly, nobody knows why, perchance, the Sun (it's a 3/60, by the way)
only has a partial system installed on it right now.  (For example, it
has all of the man pages, but no nroff.  Many similar binaries are
missing.)  The current system is 3.5 BSD UNIX, and at the least I would
like to reinstall it so that there is a complete system on the computer.
I recently ordered SunOS 4.1.1 (which Sun tells me is the latest system
available for the 3/60), and within the next 3 months will have to
install IT.

Thanks for any help.

Subject: Sun 3 server running SUNOS 4.0.3 keeps crashing

I hope that you can take a look at this problem.

Our SUN 3/260 server running SUNOS 4.0.3 is crashing regularly.
The crashes are caused by panics from free freeing free frags, i.e. corrupt
file systems.
Here are a couple of excerpts from the messages file.

tuck# grep panic /usr/adm/messages
Apr  5 09:50:04 tuck vmunix: panic: free: freeing free frag
Apr  7 10:29:32 tuck vmunix: panic: free: freeing free frag
Apr  8 09:43:17 tuck vmunix: panic: free: freeing free frag
tuck# grep itrunc /usr/adm/messages
Apr  5 04:09:57 tuck vmunix: itrunc: /usr/users/37212 new size = 0, blocks = -2
Apr  5 14:15:10 tuck vmunix: itrunc: /usr/users/28 new size = 0, blocks = -2
Apr  7 08:05:45 tuck vmunix: itrunc: /usr/users/35548 new size = 0, blocks = -2
Apr  7 12:17:49 tuck vmunix: itrunc: /var/4188 new size = 0, blocks = -2
Apr  7 17:16:07 tuck vmunix: itrunc: /var/4188 new size = 0, blocks = -6
Apr  8 07:54:48 tuck vmunix: itrunc: /usr/users/53532 new size = 0, blocks = -2
	
I think that the itruncs are causing the panics and the question is what is
causing the itruncs.  This sequence of events occurred regularly for
a couple of weeks in November/December, then not again until this week.

Unfortunately we are not on Sun maintenance, so I can't call them.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I am not a fan of Sunview, and it irked me that it was taking up
space on my disk, so as part of the upgrade to 4.1.2 and openwindows
3, I did not load any sunview. This resulted in some missing
items. Specifically:

/lib/.te*
/lib/libsun*

I managed to get these from another system running 4.1.2 and ow3
with sunview, but just MAYBE suninstall should be smart enough
to do this correctly on its own, hmm? Either that or it shouldn't
let you install ow without sunview.
