ffs/ffs_vfsops.c:
ffs_statfs() multiplied by (100 - minfree) as part of calculating the
minfree percentage (complemented in 100%), so with the standard minfree
of 8, it was broken for file systems of size >= 1TB/92 = 11GB. Use the
standard freespace() macro instead. This also fixes a rounding bug (the
"Avail" count was sometimes 1 too small).
ffs/* (not fixed):
The freespace() macro multiplies by minfree, so with the standard
minfree of 8, it is broken for file systems of size >= 1TB/8 = 128GB.
This bug is more serious since it affects block allocation.
ffs/ffs_alloc.c (not fixed):
Ordinary users are sometimes allowed to allocate 1 (partial) block
too many so that the "Avail" count goes negative. E.g., if there is
1 fragment available and the file is fairly large, one more full
block is allocated.
df/df.c:
ufs_df() used/uses essentially the same code as ffs_statfs(), so it
had/has the same bugs.
ufs_df() gratuitously replaced "Avail" counts of < 0 by 0, so it
gave different results for non-mounted file systems in this case.

that support large numbers of ports.. eg: specialix and digiboard.
This does not actually change the current tty names, it just allows room
for reporting more characters if the drivers use them.
When comparing my recent parser change against the ash in 1.1.5.1, i
found that a couple of other problems in the same area has been fixed
there, but not in 2.2. Semicolons and EOF do also delimit words...
The && and || tokens do also terminate a command, not only the
newline.
While i was at it, disabled trace code by default, it served no good
purpose since it required the use of a debugger anyway to be turned
on. Instead, placed a hint in the Makefile on how to turn it on.
This makes the shell ~ 10 % faster and ~ 4 KB smaller. :)

Turns out, it's pretty important if you use PAX for backup. In the man
page for PAX, there is an error (OK, we could call it a "potentially
catastrophic incompleteness"). It reads:

>
> gives the verbose table of contents for an archive stored in filename.
Yup, it does do that. With a side effect: it also _replaces_ all the
files that come in from the archive. As is my custom, I did my
backup-validation real soon after the backup was written. Precisely
because I've seen the same sort of thing happen on other systems. So all
that file-restoring didn't do a lot of damage. Probably helped my
fragmentation somewhat (aha, an online defragger?) It did confuse one
hapless user, who lost an email message he _knew_ he hadn't deleted.
Apparently the system restored the file as of just before that critical
message came in.
The correct entry should read:

cpio/copyout.c:
Don't output a file if the major, minor or totality of its rdev would be
truncated. Print a message about the skipped files to stderr but don't
report the error in the exit status. cpio's abysmal error handling doesn't
allow continuing after an error, and the rdev checks had to be misplaced
to avoid the problem of returning an error code from routines that return
void.
pax/pax.h:
Use the system macros for major(), minor() and makedev().
pax already checks _all_ output conversions for overflow. This has the
undesirable effect that failure to convert relatively useless fields

POSIX.2 looks pretty unequivocal to me, and it agrees with you.
Under the explanation of the "-p" option, it says, "Each dir operand that
names an existing directory shall be ignored without error." Under the
explanation of exit status zero, it says, "All the specified directories were
created successfully, or the-p option was specified and all the specified

Seems to me POSIX requires exactly the behavior you want.
