Better performance -- more aggressive read-ahead
under certain circumstanses.
Mods to support clustering on small
( < PAGE_SIZE) block size filesystems (e.g. ext2fs,
msdosfs.)
changes to allow devices that don't probe (e.g. /dev/mem)
to create devfs entries
this required giving 'configure' its own SYSINIT entry
so we could duck in just before it with a DEVFS init
and some device inits..
my devfs now looks like:
./misc
./misc/speaker
./misc/mem
./misc/kmem
./misc/null
./misc/zero
./misc/io
./misc/console
./misc/pcaudio
./misc/pcaudioctl
./disks
./disks/rfloppy
./disks/rfloppy/fd0.1440
./disks/rfloppy/fd1.1200
./disks/floppy
./disks/floppy/fd0.1440
./disks/floppy/fd1.1200
also some sligt cleanups.. DEVFS needs a lot of work
but I'm getting back to it..
"update -jHEAD" when a file has been added on the specified tag.
It doesn't actually make cvs 'handle' it, it just stops it from dying
and leaving stray locks and other wreckage.
This was suggested by the CVS maintainers, and is in cvs-1.5.1-950901.
on, which is fine, except that _yp_dobind() is called before we check
the cache. The means we can return from the cache check (if we have
a hit) without calling _yp_unbind().
We should do the cache check first and _then_ drop into the section
that binds the server and does the yp_match query.
seperate function to avoid duplication. Also fix getpwent() a
small bit to properly handle the case where the magic NIS '+'
entry appears before the end of the password file.
getgrent.c: be a little more SunOS-ish. Make it look like the NIS
group map is 'inserted' at the the point(s) where the magic NIS '+'
entry/entries appear.
getgrent: fix a file descriptor leak: remember to close the netgroup
file after we determine that we're using NIS-only innetgr() lookups.
correctly whether a user is local or NIS (or both, or neither). If you
have a user that exists locally but not in NIS, passwd(1) could get
confused and try to submit the password change to NIS. (Fortunately,
yppasswdd is smart enough to spot the error and reject the change.)

NIS (or both, or neither). Also add support for -l and -y flags to
force behavior to local or NIS. use_yp() also goes out of its way to
retrieve the correct password database information (local or NIS)
depending on what the situation since getpwent() & co. can't
necessarily be trusted in some cases.
Also document new flags in man page.
had a 2.1 tag, thus sending these two changes into the 2.1 branch instead
of -current. Argh. I may bring these changes into the 2.1 anyway (they're
benign there) so I'm not going to admin them out of 2.1 for the time
being.
understand why it can become a null pointer under some circumstances,
but i've got a pile of tapes where this happens, and running it thru a
debugger proved that simply ending the loop in this case did the right
thing.
Anyway, it cannot make it worse than now, where restore kills itself
with "Memory fault".
/dev/rfoo0d.
Scan a list of devices instead of insisting on all the world
being wd0.
Allow for disk names to be specified (e.g. `sd0') instead of full
path names only.
Sync the man page with the reality.
b) Put in names and email addresses of people who have claimed
empty sections as their own.
c) Incorporated MIRROR.SITES as the first section in the appendix
titled "Obtaining FreeBSD". When adding, removing or otherwize
twiddling with the mirror site info, do it in mirrors.sgml!
d) A couple other odds and ends.
e) NOTE: You must update your your /usr/bin/sgmlfmt and /usr/share/sgml
to process this edition of the handbook!
4k to 8k. This has a significant effect on the pipe performance. In
the future it might be good to increase this to 16k. PIPSIZ is now
tunable for experimentation.
syntax is slightly changed: -format is now -f format.
New option: -i name
This is a switch to control marked sections in SGML documents. Useful
for multi-lingual documents.
