I'm trying SMSQmulator 2.14 on Raspberry Pi 2. So far everything works fine, and I'm impressed by the fact the speed is enough for useful work, considering it's written in Java and the RPi is a slow machine.
But I've found something strange about `dir` and the NFA device. In order to find out the error condition I've done several tests, and it seems the problem arises when any directory of a native file sytem path associated to a SMSQ/E device is a symbolic link. Example 1: nfa_use 1, "/tmp/ql/mnt/data/" nfa_use 2, "/tmp/ql/ql-LINK/mnt/data/" Where "ql-LINK" is a symbolic link to "/tmp/ql/", and "data/" contains "info_txt" (a file) and "basic/" ( a directory). `dir nfa1_` works fine, it shows the directory as usual: info_txt basic -> But `dir nfa2_` produces this: _txt _**UNKNOWN** -> Example 2: nfa_use 1, "/home/myuser/temp/ql/mnt/data/" nfa_use 2, "/home/myuser/temp/ql-LINK/mnt/data/" Where "ql-LINK" is a symbolic link to "/home/myuser/temp/computer/ql/" (where "mnt/data/" is) and both "data/" directories contain "info_txt" (a file) and "basic/" (a directory). `dir nfa1_` works fine: info_txt basic -> But `dir nfa2_` produces this: ata_basic -> ata_text_txt Happily, it seems file access is not affected. This works fine on both examples above: copy nfa1_text_txt,con_ copy nfa2_text_txt,con_ The SMSQmulator documentation includes a detailed explanation of the NFA and NSA devices, including the filename rules, but no mention to symbolic links. Has anybody found any other issue about them? -- Marcos Cruz http://programandala.net _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
