Well, sort through them and save the ones you want then delete the rest. =P Unfortunately if the mail list admins implement some type of filter then it is possible real mail could get lost. Which would open a door for a hole host of problems. IIRC. Welcome to the list. hde BVK Chaitanya <[EMAIL

sub-hurd from cvs

Hi, I am setting up a sub-hurd to get some testing done. I used hurd from cvs. Which lead me to a question. There is no way for you to specify an alternate root dir for installing the hurd translators is there? See, when you compile and install hurd, hurd always puts all of the transl

ams, This change is need in parted to be able to use paths with parted. In gnu.c right now it is using store_typed_open which needs a name like foo:bar. This changed allows you use such things as /dev/hd2 for example. Thanks hde [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Alfred M. Szmidt) writes: >--- /home/hde/PA

I sent in bad patches here are the correct ones. To recap libstore was not storing the contents of errno when testing it. Libparted was not checking if the user supplies a patch to a device or a store typed device name. Sorry about so many emails. thanks hde --- libstore/module.c 2003-08-02 17:

RE: Help with libstore.

Hi, It seems the problem was errno looses its contents over lib calls. So, in order for you to later test errno you must save it in a variable. I did just that in open_class and the problem is now fixed. I have included a patch to fix the problem. If you have any questions please do ask.

LOL, It seems we do detect ENOENT when we can't open a shared lib because of it not being there. But, we do still have a problem and it is here mod = dlopen (modname, RTLD_LAZY); if (mod == NULL) { const char *errstring = dlerror (); /* Must always call or it leaks! */

Help with libstore.

Hello, I am working on the fdisk interface to libparted. While, coding fdisk I have been fixing problems with parted as well. I have parted working very well. The only problem I am having trouble solving is when parted auto-probes for all devices libstore outputs a screen full of errors.
