Two things:
1) CVS
2) lfs

Is the 'No space left on device' a sign that something
has gone wrong or can we happily sup anyway ?
2) I tried out the lfs filesystem yesterday:
(My Kernel supports LFS (whatever it is.))
commands: state of machine:
newlfs sd1f fine
mount -t lfs /dev/sd1f /mnt2 fine
cd /mnt2 fine
ls -laR fine
cat >test <RET> blablabla <RET><CTRL-D first screen hangs
<F10>ls -laR second screen hangs
<F11>ps ax fine, lfs_cleaner.d is running
umount -f /dev/sd1f all screeens hang
<diff machine>ping wipux2 response for a bit, then nomore
<wipux2><Ctrl-Alt-Esc> debugger appears
messed around a bit nothing sensible appears
<REBOOT-BUTTON> btw how does one reboot from the debugger ?
machine boots
kernel reads
init failed panic.
For some reason my /sbin/init had shortend to 16K. booted from a spare root
and copied a new one the next day, everything else seems fine.
SO:
Has anybody got lfs working ? Am I wrong in thinking lfs
is just a faster filesystem ? Was it fluke that my /sbin/init
went or should I presume similar things to happen when
I mess with lfs ?...
Cheerio
