Programmatically detect removed usb stick?
Hello, I'm writing a small program which changes working dir to a specific directory (using chdir()), and then opens, reads, and closes files in that directory, depending on user actions. Sometimes this directory is located on a mounted USB stick. I'm looking for a simple way to detect, from within my program, if a user have removed the USB stick without first unmounting it. The simplest way, I thought, was to check errno for EIO or ENXIO (depending on whether an error occurs in fread() or fopen()). However, that does not seem to work, because if I call fopen() after the USB stick has been removed, the return value is NULL, and the errno code is ENOENT instead of ENXIO, which sort of makes sense (the file certainly is not there any more), but the cause of the error cannot be differentiated from a regular mis-spelling of the file name. So is there some reliable way of detecting whether the underlying storage device has gone away when a library/system call fails, even if the OS still regards the filesystem as being mounted? Can I, upon detecting errno==ENOENT after fopen(), use some other calls (for example ioctl(), getfsstat(), or statfs()) to determine whether the cause is a mis-spelled filename or removed USB stick? What is the recommended/preferred way? Can/should I perhaps do something before attempting the fopen(), to find out whether the USB stick is still attached? I prefer simple solutions using standard library/system calls, and would like to avoid attaching to some notification mechanism, and tailing the kernel log looking for USB detach messages is a clumsy last chance solution.

using PCC in openbsd?
hello all, it's possible to use PCC for main compiler in openbsd? I want learn C (just start practice C programming) and i read in undeadly PCC much better than GCC, cc command in openbsd soft link to PCC or GCC? If i use PCC, i'll get incompatibility problem if my work not use PCC (using GCC or visual studio). so for noob like me, which is preferred C compiler i must use? PCC or GCC ? thx

If 'noob like [you]' writes C code that works with one compiler and does not with the other you've created a great opportunity for yourself to learn something. In general, it's best to try and avoid those situations when and where you can. Especially when you're new to this thing; once you understand the tradeoffs then maybe (maybe) you can consider taking advantage of a specific feature of a particular compiler not present in others. It's not a very portable practice though, I recommend against it in the general case. Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd -- [++-]+++.+++[---].+++[+ +++-].++[-]+.--.[-] http://www.weirdnet.nl/

Try to do an open(., O_RDONLY) if your fopen()/fread() fails. If you get -1 and ENOENT then the file system where you've parked your cwd is no longer mounted (statfs() should also work equally well, but then you'd need to declare a statfs struct you'd have no further use for). It's not wise to check before your fopen():s, because they may still fail if the user pulls the USB stick in the right moment, only use it as a verification of *what* actually went wrong.

Re: IPv4 routing fails after IPv6 default route is added
Hi, On 2011.06.10 16:35:43 +, Stuart Henderson wrote: I would suggest being more specific with your nat rule. If you have a default v6 route on gre, this is in group egress too, and might get picked as the interface to try and nat packets to, but it doesn't have a v4 address so the nat can't work. Because you're using (egress:0) rather than just egress:0 to track address changes, you won't be able to see what's going on using the standard tools (pfctl -vf /etc/pf.conf, pfctl -sr, etc) which might otherwise clarify things. Thanks. That seems to have fixed it. I assumed the skip gre0 would be enough to disable all rules on the interface/route going over that interface. Regards, Benjamin Kiessling

Re: Programmatically detect removed usb stick?
On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 4:08 AM, T jatd...@gmail.com wrote: So is there some reliable way of detecting whether the underlying storage device has gone away when a library/system call fails, even if the OS still regards the filesystem as being mounted? Can I, upon detecting errno==ENOENT after fopen(), use some other calls (for example ioctl(), getfsstat(), or statfs()) to determine whether the cause is a mis-spelled filename or removed USB stick? What is the recommended/preferred way? Can/should I perhaps do something before attempting the fopen(), to find out whether the USB stick is still attached? There are no filesystems without storage, they are force unmounted when the device is removed. You should look into hotplugd if you want notification of device removal.
Asterisk and Festival
I use Festival speech synthesis when I configure Asterisk and to debug my dial
plan.
For day to day use I don't use Festival, and as a result I don't want the
Festival server
running all the time so I don't use the festival.conf within asterisk, but I
rather use
macro sayText(text) {
sayTextfile = /tmp/asterisk${RAND()};
System(echo ${text}|/usr/local/bin/newtext2wave -otype ulaw
${sayTextFile}.ulaw);
Playback(${sayTextFile});
System(rm -f ${sayTextFile}.ulaw);
return;
}
within the dial plan.
The trouble is that text2wave gets a Segmentation fault.
I found an update text2wave that does work referred to in
http://ngoinabox.mahiti.org/howtos/archive/2010/01/22/installing-festival-and
-setting-voice-to-female

64bit (or better) memory reads in i386
Hare Krsna I am developing an OpenBSD build for which will be critically sensitive to memory copy speed. Can someone fill me in on the status of memory copy in OpenBSD on i386? Is it possible to avail oneself of SSE or similar? Is memory copy on i386 only 32 bit? Is there much activity in porting OpenBSD to x64 architecture? Excuse me if this has been thrashed out already.
