So, I hear the testserver has been properly configured, so I connect, successfully! I start poking around and quickly: frop:44 $ ls -l /coda/playground/ ls: /coda/playground/banana: I/O error total 13 -rw-rw-rw- 1 65435 65534 10 Jul 3 19:35 and indeed another one -rw-rw-rw- 1 65435 65534 10 Jul 3 19:35 another unimportant file drwxr-xr-x 2 65435 65534 2048 Jun 24 03:51 catfish -rw-rw-rw- 1 65435 65534 10 Jul 3 19:35 michael with Windows 95 drwxr-xr-x 3 65435 65534 2048 Jun 9 21:21 peter-braam drwxr-xr-x 2 65435 65534 2048 May 30 14:56 sand_pants drwxrwxr-x 2 65435 65534 2048 May 17 22:01 sopwith drwxr-xr-x 3 65435 65534 2048 Jul 14 12:58 thoth banana? Anyway, I create a directory (as you can see) and put some source to run a build in. I accidentally type make as root (when I had extracted all the files as "thoth") and it hangs. I thought it was a caching issue until I interrupted it and typed make as thoth. It built, not blazingly fast, but not slow either. rpm -q -l coda-client lets me know there's a coda-cache command so I turn on caching and get a 33% decrease in build time. So I decide to get back to that wacky root hang thing. [root_at_frop netpipes4.0]# echo blah | strace dd of=shit ... stat("/usr/local/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbffff4cc) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("shit", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666 <unfinished ...> Strange. I would have expected at least an error return code. (I let it block for several minutes before I finally interrupted it). Right now I seem to be hung. there's quite a bit of stuff showing up in the log, and pwd does not complete. brk(0x804a22c) = 0x804a22c brk(0x804b000) = 0x804b000 lstat(".", [ X(00) : 0000 : 13:37:45 ] DispatchWorker: out of workers (max 5), queueing message frop:9 $ ps auxww | grep venus root 19516 0.7 9.4 7056 5996 ?
