which is enabled by default (use `-c' to get the old format). The new
format looks like this (only the values are correct; this was taken on my
machine with a slightly old kernel):
Device St Parent Description
---------- -- ---------- --------------------------------------------------
isa0 NC -
sc0 NC isa0 Parallel printer adapter
ed0 NC isa0 SMC8216/SMC8216C
sio0 NC isa0 RS-232 serial port
sio1 NC isa0 RS-232 serial port
fdc0 NC isa0 floppy disk/tape controller
fd0 NC fdc0 floppy disk
wdc0 NC isa0 ST506/ESDI/IDE disk controller
wd0 NC wdc0 ST506/ESDI/IDE disk
npx0 NC isa0 Floating-point unit
Note that many of these fields could be made more informative; I tried to make
my changes as unintrusive as possible. See the `mcd' driver for an example
of one which actually does something with the `state' field.
and all SCSI devices (except that it's not done quite the way I want). New
information added includes:
- A text description of the device
- A ``state''---unknown, unconfigured, idle, or busy
- A generic parent device (with support in the m.i. code)
- An interrupt mask type field (which will hopefully go away) so that
. ``doconfig'' can be written
This requires a new version of the `lsdev' program as well (next commit).
explanation. More doc needed, but not hard to do, if you want to.
A big hand to Martin Renters for the netboot program !
Anybody want to compete on who can "make world" in the shortest
amount of time ? I have 127 i486DX2/66 and 5 P60's I can use
now. And 3 times 66 Gb file servers to support it... :->
Anyway, NFS will be standard in the GENERIC kernel now, so that
people can use the bin-tarball to set up shop.
Print out summary information on receipt of SIGINFO; also, stop the
kernel printing of information and restore it on exit. Now, it needs
an option to be quiet. ;)
A word of wisdom, don't do this:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| cp $i /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i
| done
It will compress files with multiple links several times. do it this way:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| gunzip -f < $i > /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i
| done
This is part of a bug fix from Kirk McKusick to work around problems in FFS
related to the blkno of a 64bit offset not fitting into an int. Note the
proper solution would be to deal with 64bit block numbers, but doing this
would require sweeping changes; some other day perhaps.
