From 1d36c8992d0112a875e44a5f10625b898931cf4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ruslan Ermilov Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2001 12:44:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] When changing an indirect route, kernel routing code allocates a route to the gateway and caches it in the route structure. It may happen (if the routing table is screwed) that the gateway route is the same route as the one being modified, in which case a kernel reports EDQUOT. Be more verbose about this: # route add -net 10 192.168.4.65 add net 10: gateway 192.168.4.65 # netstat -rn -finet Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.4.65 UGSc 1 7 rl0 10 192.168.4.65 UGSc 0 0 rl0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 178 lo0 192.168.4 link#1 UC 2 0 rl0 => 192.168.4.65 0:d0:b7:16:9c:c6 UHLW 2 0 rl0 1123 Before: # route change -net 10 10.0.0.1 route: writing to routing socket: Disc quota exceeded change net 10: gateway 10.0.0.1: Disc quota exceeded After: # ./route change -net 10 10.0.0.1 route: writing to routing socket: Disc quota exceeded change net 10: gateway 10.0.0.1: gateway uses the same route PR: bin/1093, misc/26833 --- sbin/route/route.8 | 10 ++++++++-- sbin/route/route.c | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/sbin/route/route.8 b/sbin/route/route.8 index a6d8b72706e3..13ab5ced7948 100644 --- a/sbin/route/route.8 +++ b/sbin/route/route.8 @@ -32,9 +32,9 @@ .\" @(#)route.8 8.3 (Berkeley) 3/19/94 .\" $FreeBSD$ .\" -.Dd March 19, 1994 +.Dd June 8, 2001 .Dt ROUTE 8 -.Os BSD 4.4 +.Os .Sh NAME .Nm route .Nd manually manipulate the routing tables @@ -362,6 +362,12 @@ wasn't present in the tables.
