We have made a snapshot available. We've been working hard and among others the following changes can be found: ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/src/*4.7.2* - WARNING: you must use newly compiled kernel modules with this Coda user level code on the client: we changed a formula (viz. hash) that computes the inode number from a fid. This remains hairy because we have 96 bits in a fid and merely 32 in an int (i.e. inode). This has to be in sync between Venus and kernel. - some fixes to reintegration code: - you should be able to more easily restart a crashed Venus and continue reintegrating - you should be able to unpack large tar files (linux source) disconnected. - more new directory code (try the clients they are good, servers probably shaky). - cleanup and little fixes(fid's, Elliot's compile patches,Makefiles,changes to scripts) - some changes to security code (root can get a Coda token like in AFS, better ACLs for new volumes, more is coming...) There is also new code in the NetBSD and FreeBSD kernels for current. Get this from BSD land. Send us more patches, and keep on trying our code! The Coda Team.Received on 1998-10-02 12:06:41
