The most utterly hosed filesystem i have ever had the misfortune to
be afflicted with, came to me courtesy of softupdates.

The enormous files with the immutable flag set, the files with negative
timestamps, the files with names from the content of other files, the
files with content based on the names of other files; i shudder still to 
think of it.  I don't think it gave me files with slashes in the filenames,
but i would not have been surprised if it had.

Dan Bernstein tells us that softupdates should not be used on filesystems
that are to be used for mail delivery, as the filesystem in question
cannot be relied upon to not lose mail.  He is, shall i say, correct.

Re: [eug-lug]EXTREMISM IN DEFENSE OF LINUX MUST BE CONDEMNED

2004-02-04 Thread Ben Barrett
Well said, Bob.  May I remind everyone again that we have a separate
"activism" list.  If you think a post should *maybe* go there instead, post
it there  and thanks for posting at all!

I agree with these sentiments, although the statment, "The Linux community
is being invaded by zealots, extremists and kooks" causes me some
distress!  I imagine that the majority of the citizens of the world are not
"normal" by any practical measure -- although zealots, extremists, and kooks
are a bit beyond the unpractical "norm"; and if we do desire the success of
Linux, then we will have to allow our Linux-using community to expand beyond
what, say, 1/2 of the folks might be comfortable with.

Here's a classic example:  Zapatistas in Mexico.  A *new* generation of
zaps, who are being taught linux starting in elementary school.  Certainly
there are many conformists in their population, as there are here, however
the rebels among them (extremists and kooks even!) are now being empowered
with high-quality, highly powerful, and FREE tools by their goverment.
In my crystal ball, the future is hazy, but I see more use of Linux.
That means linux in the server room, on the desktop, and also in the hands
of extremists, and even terrorists.  We'd better get used to it, and decide
how to respond, because it doesn't belong to us.  I also do not believe that
we can (or should [try to]) turn people into conformists via Linux.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your time, freaks  = )

Thanks, Bob.  I was looking into it because transcode uses lrint,
but it is not in *BSD.  Now I know how to handle it for *BSD, and make
it a little better on Linux :)

You need to build support for the filesystem into your kernel.  In the
kernel configuration, it's called UFS, previous discussion
notwithstanding.

I'm guessing you already have BSD partition table support in your
kernel if you've gotten a dual-boot system working.

If you're using a generic kernel, it may be a simple matter
of "modprobe ufs".

lrint() is part of the C99 standard.  If you add "-std=c99" or
"-std=gnu99" to your compile line, the warning won't happen.

It works fine because the function is in libc whether or not the
compiler saw the declaration, so the linker works normally.  Once upon
a time (circa 1975-1980), common C practice was to declare practically
nothing, and let the compiler and linker figure everything out.
Prior to ANSI C, there were no function prototypes, for example.

> Also, what's the difference between lrint() and (long)rint()?  I mean,
> why even have lrint?  Faster because it's integer only?

Take a look at .  If you can get the compiler flags
right, you can compile lrint() into a single instruction, fistpl.
That would seem to be faster than the two-or-more instruction sequence
of rounding the double, then converting to int.

This compiler invocation will generate the fistpl instruction on my
compiler (gcc 3.2.3 gentoo), though it's far from fully optimized.

gcc -o lrint -Wall -std=gnu99 lrint.c -O -lm

C is truly portable assembler.

[eug-lug]EXTREMISM IN DEFENSE OF LINUX MUST BE CONDEMNED

2004-02-04 Thread Bob Crandell
Hi,

Here is something you might want to read, at least the first part.

LINUX PIPELINE NEWSLETTER
http://www.linuxpipeline.com/
February 3, 2004

EXTREMISM IN DEFENSE OF LINUX MUST BE CONDEMNED

I've been doing a bit of Googling today, and I've discovered that
there's something missing from the statements by Linux leaders about
the MyDoom attack. It needs to be said:

Vigilante action is wrong. The author or authors of the MyDoom virus
should be prosecuted with the full vigor of the law. They are
villains, they should be thrown into prison and made into examples
to make the entire community of computer criminals afraid.

The Linux community is being invaded by zealots, extremists and
kooks who are, in fact, doing far more damage to the Linux community
itself than to anyone else.

One of today's lead stories touches on this bad element within the
open source community. The headline is "Extremist Linux Advocates
Doing More Harm Than Good," and the story describes the threats,
abuse and foul language brought to bear against individuals and
organizations that Linux extremists have decided are enemies of
Linux.

http://www.linuxpipeline.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=17601634

The story begins:

 Industry watcher Rob Enderle no longer responds to angry e-mails
 from Linux supporters. The principal analyst for the Enderle Group
 (San Jose, Calif.) says he replied to the first thousand or so. But
 after that, the anger and profanities that many of the missives
 contained began to wear on him.

 "I've been threatened and other analysts have been threatened, as
 well," Enderle said. "Some of the e-mail is incredibly vile...

We thought about it for nearly a day before deciding to publish the
story; I was concerned that it might simply be a hatchet job against
the Linux community. We finally decided to publish it - and one
thing that changed my mind is the fact that I've gotten the
nastygrams too.

It is not a perfect story. There's going to be some elements of that
story that you hate. But I urge you to read it over with an open
mind, because the core of the story is true: Linux *is* attracting
extremists, and the extremists *are* damaging the credibility of the
entire community.

The authors of hateful messages against Linux critics should be
given punishment appropriate to their actions. A tiny few should
face criminal prosecution for their violent threats; the vast
majority should simply be taken out to the schoolyard and spanked.

Laura DiDio, an analyst with The Yankee Group in Boston, is right in
saying:

 "The open-source and Linux community in 2004 is going to have to
 distance themselves from the questionable tactics of this fringe
 element of Linux extremists. If they don't, it's going to hurt them
 more than SCO can."

That's going to be hard to do, given that the responsible elements
of the Linux and open source community have no legal or financial
bludgeons with which to bring the kooks and criminals into line. The
kooks and criminals may intend to harm Linux's enemies, but the
Linux community is being hurt more.

Vigilante action, threats and nasty language simply serve to help
Linux's enemies create the impression that Linux is not suitable for
a business environment. They need to be stopped, somehow. One good
start is for Linux leaders to unequivocally condemn the deplorable
behavior, starting with us, now.

It works  because it's acceptable. You get compiler warnings because 
your constant argument to lrint is not explicitly cast as type double. 
In a nutshell, C is strongly typed and gcc -Wall will point this out to you.

Looks like they generate a different set of errno returns under some 
circumstances and rint return type is double.

Softdep makes fsck _very_ reliable, thus the ability to do background
fsck (use the FS in the meantime).

That's not the same as using a journalling fs, tho ... it's still FFS.

IMHO, Linux suports journalling FSs because ext2 was not so reliable
after crashes.  FFS has been reliable for quite a while.  IMHO, BSDers
don't feel the need to implement a new fs.

I think she really wants to swap links.  Very possible she is using
some kind of script->email_form, tho.

Who knows tho ... maybe she paid some half-reformed spammer to actually
run the script and send emails.
