Hi, I've had the following patch installed for some time now.
Basically, we ran into a situation where files being generated/stored to a fileserver from client A and then handed by out by ftp from a different client host was failing. The following patch handles the recoverable ESTALE situation. Trace/debug output is done when the logging level is 2 or more as is done elsewhere. It is also worth noting that ESTALE is not documented as a valid errno return from open(). Thanks, John The patch can also be found online at: http://people.freebsd.org/~jwd/ftpd.estale.patch Index: ftpd.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/libexec/ftpd/ftpd.c,v retrieving revision 1.99 diff -u -r1.99 ftpd.c --- ftpd.c 25 Feb 2002 16:39:34 -0000 1.99 +++ ftpd.c 3 Mar 2002 13:25:00 -0000 @@ -1478,7 +1478,15 @@ time_t start; if (cmd == 0) { - fin = fopen(name, "r"), closefunc = fclose; + int try = 0; + while ((fin = fopen(name,"r")) == NULL && errno == ESTALE && try < 3 ) +{ + sleep(++try); + if (logging > 1) + syslog(LOG_INFO,"get fopen(\"%s\"): %m: attempting +retry",name); + } + if (fin == NULL && logging > 1) + syslog(LOG_INFO,"get fopen(\"%s\"): %m",name); + closefunc = fclose; st.st_size = 0; } else { char line[BUFSIZ]; To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
