I have been lurking on this list pretty much since its inception but I haven't tried coda until a few days ago. I spent two days working through the problems I had with the documentation and getting a coda server working. I have to admit it was quite a learning process. If you are interested, I took quite a few notes along the way and would be willing to update your release notes so that they are more accurate. Anyway, now I am having some trouble with venus. The first time that I got coda working, I decided to copy some stuff over to my vice server and so I kicked off a couple of "find . | cpio -p /coda/usr/local/..." This seemed to hang venus after a couple minutes. I tried some of the cfs commands and they just hung. Eventually, I tried to restart venus. Normal kills didn't work and so eventually I had to kill -9 it. After that I couldn't get it to run again. It couldn't seem to open /dev/cfs0 it said the resource was busy and so I figured that my only way out of this one was reboot. It worked and the server reintegrated with the coda server. However many of the files hadn't been copied yet and so I figured that the problem was that coda had hung in the middle. I kicked off one of the "cpio -p"'s and that seemed to work. Venus reintegrated and all was well. So I kicked off the second "cpio -" and then venus hung again. Same thing, I had to reboot to free up /dev/cfs0 but when it came back, I found that coda was still hanging and the log which was really long ended with this. Store : sid = (44ab36cd.899501979), time = 899497741, uid = 1001 tid = -1 bytes = 228 pred = (0, 0), succ = (0, 0) to_be_repaired = 0 repair_mutation = 0 frozen = 0, cancel = 0, failed = 0, committed = 0 fid = (7f000002.fffffffe.359d3a6a), length = 4224 vv = [ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ] [ 0 0 ] [ 0 ] rhandle[0] = (0,0,0) rhandle[1] = (0,0,0) rhandle[2] = (0,0,0) rhandle[3] = (0,0,0) rhandle[4] = (0,0,0) rhandle[5] = (0,0,0) rhandle[6] = (0,0,0) rhandle[7] = (0,0,0) [ X(00) : 0000 : 13:47:37 ] ***** FATAL SIGNAL (11) ***** So I guess that means it is segv'ing. The process is still around but it is not doing anything. -benReceived on 1998-07-03 16:33:30
