I'm having a problem that seems to be related to NFS on potato. Here's
the setup:
/home is mounted via NFS. When I run WPrefs, the configuration tool
included with Window Maker, I get the following error:
"Could not open Window Maker domain
(/home/frodo/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker) from defaults database." The
WindowMaker configuration file is never opened, and I'm not able to change
or save it.
I have tracked this down to the following code from libPropList from the
function PLGetProplistWithPath:
flk.l_type = F_RDLCK;
flk.l_start = 0;
flk.l_whence = SEEK_SET;
flk.l_len = 0;
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETLK, &flk)<0)
{
if (errno != ENOLCK)
{
close(fd);
free(actual_filename);
return NULL;
}
got_lock = 0;
} else
got_lock = 1;
errno is being set to EACCES after the fcntl call. According to errno.h,
that's a Permission Denied error. There should be no permission
problems. I have no problems writing to the file in question by
hand. Using GDB I changed errno to 37, ENOLCK before the second if(), and
everything worked fine. The file was open, I could change it in
WPrefs, and I was able to save it. So, it would seem that this is a
problem with the errno value that is set from fcntl when it tries to
create a lock on an NFS mounted file. Can anybody more knowledgeable
confirm this or give me any suggestions? What should I do from here? Is
it a glibc2.1 problem, or something else? The problem did not exist on
slink.
TIA!
