I tried testing the patches that Marcus submitted yesterday.
The short version is that the nfsd daemon seems to have problems, but they don't all appear to be new, the translator works mostly correctly for me. sequence: set up a local mount on a hurd box in /etc/exports: /src /path/to/test/build/hurd/nfsd/nfsd settrans -fgc /tmp/nfs /path/to/test/build/hurd/nfs/nfs localhost:/src cp /etc/profile /src ls /tmp/nfs reports the size correctly from cat /tmp/nfs/profile cat reads the text of the file This also works for a larger file. now the following cp /src/xemacs21-bin.....deb /tmp/nfs ls /tmp/nfs reports the size as UINT_MAX less of /src/xemacs21-bin.....deb starts with null characters, then about two screens down the beginning of the .deb archive header. Okay that is with the current cvs version. Now with a version prior to the changes. First I did cvs co -D"Sun Sept 29 2002 00:00". /hurd/nfsd Then build and run this nfsd Now I get the following: cp /src/xemacs21-bin.....deb /tmp/nfs ls /tmp/nfs reports the size as UINT_MAX less of /src/xemacs21-bin.....deb starts with null characters, 10 screens and still the same. #copy via nfsd cp /etc/exports /tmp/nfs cat /tmp/nfs no data read, but the size is reported correctly. # copy w/o the translator or daemon cp /etc/exports /src cat /tmp/nfs no data read, but the size is reported correctly. rm seems to work correctly in both cases. Now using the older version of the nfs translator. I get the same results, as with the new version. Okay, finally using the nfsd from a linux mount and the nfs translators. starting with the old one (just making sure :-) File creation, read, write are okay. with the old version of nfs translator. The nfs translator fails to start up from a passively set translator. settrans -fga /tmp/nfs ls /tmp/nfs nfs: translator died. It appears that the hurd's nfs translator fails to startup correctly at times, but I haven't been able to identify this as being consistent, or what combination of servers or translator versions are affected. I will continue to try to find these problems a bit later this week. -- /^\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \ _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
