From: probreak@matt.ksu.ksu.edu (James Michael Chacon) Subject: Bug in 96a Date: 28 May 1992 09:43:35 GMT
I found what I think are some bugs in 96a.
1) Take a floppy, and fill it up completely with files (i.e. < 20K free)
Then do some commands dealing with thoses files such as cp * /tmp
On my system this will copy all files correctly, but then output
errors saying it couldn't read blocks. These blocks are numbered past
the end of the disk. Obviously the read ahead feature is going to far
and eventually timing out. I will dig into the sources tommorow to try
and find where it is.
2) The error messages from above do not go to the tty they occured on.
They are output on the current tty. This is a problem when I am editing on
one tty and using the cp command from above on another. Those error messages
shouldn't appear on my tty, they should go on the tty that caused them
I may look into this problem, but it doesn't appear on any other errors,
so it isn't immediate
Otherwise thanks for a great system Linus
