Hm, that might not be easy. Did you have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=101979&cat=bin ? It outlines my test setup, including the few scripts that were used to detect data loss and verify that the fix indeed works. If daemontools/runit is installed it's a matter of setting up two services and watching their output. Would that be sufficient? -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
