Hi, since the beginning of August my backup service stopped to work in FreeBSD-stable. Finally I understand why. With the revision scsi_sa.c:1.45.2.12 from Aug 2, the End of Tape is reported by result zero instead of previous -1/ENOSPC after write() call.
Now I have two "questions": 1) Why it had to be changed at all? If I look into afbackup sources, it seems that there is no other such OS, which returns written size 0 - it seems to me that atleast Solaris, AIX, Irix, Linux, OSF, HPUX, OpenBSD and NetBSD all return an error -1 and they set errno to ENOSPC (like when there is a full filesystem) or ENXIO. Can anybody confirm it, if it is right? 2) Why it had been changed in -stable too? Why not only in -current? It breaks atleast one backup program (afbackup), which has to be fixed/patched now... -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
