RE: Question on boot-message

2005-11-29 Thread Richard Mortimer
I suspect that it might be LOOP_GET_STATUS64

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -i 4c05 /usr/include/*/*.h
/usr/include/linux/loop.h:#define LOOP_GET_STATUS64 0x4C05

Note that the message only appears 50 times after kernel boot. After that it
will be throttled by the code in fs/compat.c. This may make confusing
behaviour if you are trying to confirm what is happening.

Another way to confirm which ioctl call it is is to run strace on the mount
command and try to match up the system calls with the code. I don't seem to
get the unknown cmd message on my box (may be throttling, different mount
options or different kernel version where the ioctl cmd was implemented)

Hope this helps

Richard

 Dear listmembers,
 is there some way for me to find out which ioctl is missing 
 here and whether I do have a chance to fix this?
 
 4sys32_ioctl(mount:146): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(4c05) 
 arg(e898)
 
 This appears about 20 times during boot on my U60. The 
 numbers at mount:XXX vary from XXX=139 to XXX =161, the cmd's 
 are fd(3) and fd(4). The actual cmd() is always the same, the 
 arg() is either arg(e898) or arg(efffed70)
 
 Many thanks for helping,
 take care

 4sys32_ioctl(mount:146): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(4c05) arg(e898)

Run the cmd value backwards through the macros defined in
asm/ioctl.h and perhaps you'll get an idea.

 cmd() is always the same, the arg() is either arg(e898) or arg(efffed70)

The number after mount: is the pid.  The mount command is attempting
an unknown ioctl, so start there and try to narrow down what mount may
be attempting.  You could strace or ltrace the offending mount command
during the boot process as well.

Come on back if you can't figure it out.
