LIST OF KNOWN BUGS IN AM-UTILS OR OPERATING SYSTEMS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) mips-sgi-irix*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[1A] known to have flakey NFS V.3 and TCP. Amd tends to hang or spin
|
||
|
|
infinitely after a few hours or days of use. Users must install recommended
|
||
|
|
patches from vendor. Patches help, but not all the time. Otherwise avoid
|
||
|
|
using NFS V.3 and TCP on these systems, by setting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/defaults opts:=vers=2,proto=udp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[1B] yp_all() leaks a file descriptor. Eventually amd runs out of file
|
||
|
|
descriptors and hangs. Am-utils circumvents this by using its own version
|
||
|
|
of yp_all which uses udp and iterats over NIS maps. The latter isn't as
|
||
|
|
reliable as yp_all() which uses TCP, but it is better than hanging.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) alpha-unknown-linux-gnu (RedHat Linux 4.2)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hasmntopt(mnt, opt) can goes into an infinite loop if opt is any substring
|
||
|
|
of mnt->mnt_opts. Redhat 5.0 does not have this libc bug. Here is an
|
||
|
|
example program:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
||
|
|
#include <mntent.h>
|
||
|
|
main()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
struct mntent mnt;
|
||
|
|
char *cp;
|
||
|
|
mnt.mnt_opts = "intr,rw,port=1023,timeo=8,foo=br,retrans=110,indirect,map=/usr/local/AMD/etc/amd.proj,boo";
|
||
|
|
cp = hasmntopt(&mnt, "ro");
|
||
|
|
printf("cp = %s\n", cp);
|
||
|
|
exit(0);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) mips-dec-ultrix4.3

|
|

|
Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> reports
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[3A] At least the gcc 2.7.0 fixincludes-mangled <sys/utsname.h> needs a
|
||
|
|
forward declaration of struct utsname to avoid lots of gcc warnings:

[3B] It autoconfigures and compiles cleanly, but currently hangs after a
|
||
|
|
couple of hours without leaving any traces in the syslog output.

(4) powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[4A] "Randall S. Winchester" <rsw@Glue.umd.edu> reports that for amd to
|
||
|
|
start, you need to kill and restart rpc.mountd and possibly also make sure
|
||
|
|
that nfsd is running. Normally these are not required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[4B] "Stefan Vogel" <vogel@physik.unizh.ch> reports that if your amq
|
||
|
|
executable dump core unexpectedly, then it may be a bug in gcc 2.7.x.
|
||
|
|
Upgrade to gcc 2.8.x or use IBM's xlC compiler.
