it just kept running on and on, but I'd suspect it's the open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17
that is failing, but gzip just keeps trying and unless I hit ctrl-c it just keeps spitting out that error above. when I do hit ctrl-c it finishes with: open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 open(0x7FBE38403A00, 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 dtrace: 114595 drops on CPU 3 On 3/11/13 5:46 PM, "Paul Eggert" <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> wrote: On 03/11/13 14:38, Welsh, Robert wrote: > open("dtruss-test.txt\0", 0x20104, 0x0) = 3 0 > ^Cfstat64(0x3, 0x10D157BE8, 0x0) = 0 0 > sigprocmask(0x1, 0x10D13C2B4, 0x7FFF52AD2224) = 0x0 0 > open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0xA01, 0x180) = 4 0 > sigprocmask(0x3, 0x7FFF52AD2224, 0x0) = 0x0 0 > read(0x3, "\0", 0x10000) = 4963 0 > read(0x3, "ng to turn ../../../../FM02048.7 into fieldmap and T2*\n\n\n > < M A T L A B >\n Copyright > 1984-2007 The MathWorks, Inc.\ Version 7.5.0.338 > (R2007b)\n August 9, 20", 0xEC9D) > = 0 0 > write(0x4, "\037\213\b\b]K>Q\0", 0x4AF) = 1199 0 > close(0x3) = 0 0 > stat64_extended(0x7F8689C03A00, 0x7FFF52AD1DC8, 0x7F8689C03A60) >= > 0 0 > chmod_extended(0x7F8689C03A00, 0x1F6, 0x14) = 0 0 > stat64_extended(0x7F8689C039F0, 0x7F8689C038B8, 0x7F8689C03C10) >= > 0 0 > open("dtruss-test.txt\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 3 0 > __mac_syscall(0x7FFF8CA2F57C, 0x52, 0x7FFF52AD1D00) = -1 > Err#93 > open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0xA01, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 > open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 > open("dtruss-test.txt.gz\0", 0x801, 0x81ED) = -1 Err#17 Sorry, I don't understand this output. Does the "^C" mean that you typed control-C? If so, why did gzip continue? It's supposed to exit if you interrupt it. Nor do I understand why gzip would open dtruss-test.txt more than once, or what that __mac_syscall means. Perhaps you can find an OS X expert who can decipher this dtruss output. ********************************************************** Electronic Mail is not secure, may not be read every day, and should not be used for urgent or sensitive issues
