Re: Help with my girlfriend?

2000-10-06 Thread Rob Hines Jr.

I found /dev/wfe0 online and installed it without realizing that the
device required /dev/gf0 be installed, since /dev/wfe0 was merely an
upgrade. Without the prerequisites, I could not mount /dev/wfe0 /home,
after much tweaking the device caused a kernel panic and I was locked
out of the system. That was a couple years ago.

I went to a new system and installed a new build, and tried starting by
installing /dev/gf0, then gf1, etc. Most would mount repeatedly, but
there was no data transaction with the kernel, recently, I installed
/dev/gf8, the latest version available. It would mount fine, and even
exchange data with the kernel, but in the background, it was logging to
shadowed file that I could not access, after several months that file
had grown so large that it caused a seg fault, the core dumped and
/dev/gf8 has disappeared from the system along with all the logs.

Ah well.

Re: Help with my girlfriend?

2000-10-06 Thread Nathan J. Mehl

In the immortal words of Julie Baumler ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
 You guys obviously haven't heard about the alternate drivers which have
 multiple switches to allow things like a bind and top interface, multiple
 instances of /dev/gfn, /dev/bfn, compatibility between /dev/gfn and
 /dev/wife, etc.  Unfortunately, there tend to be serious conversion
 problems when using existing /dev/gf0, /dev/bf0, /dev/wife, and
 /dev/husband device nodes with the alternate drivers which can result in
 substancial permanent system resource degradation.  

There's also the matter of import/export restrictions.  Certain
localities consider such patches to MonagamOS to be in violation of a
number of archaic statutes.  Luckily, such laws are enforced only
sporadically in the US, but one you've been forced by the state to
mount /dev/lawyer, all sorts of holy hell can break loose.  (cf.

Ok, I have had too much fun laughing at this thread.

I am sorry that your system only allows for one wife instance.  Obviously
you are not a mormom.

But as the true pig that my /dev/wife thinks I am (acutally it is more like
/drain$/wife).  I would have
/dev/wife
/dev/exwife
/dev/gf0
/dev/gf ad nausem.

Now as the true pig, why isn't he happy that she is a lesbian.  They make
the best.  They like to share and share and share ..

But the problem with most wives is they demand su rights!  Can't they just
be in the nobody group.

 associated files :)

Aparently on some OSes (BSD based apparently) mknod will react badly if
you try and create a /dev/gf{n+1} when a /dev/gf{n} already exists.

Mysterouly a symlink will develope, and before you know it both have
disappeared, usually after a period of no service due to total
consumtion of system resources.

As for the issues with /dev/children or /dev/mistress ... well I'll shut
up.

I have enjoyed this thread - Thanks.

 That's because at one time you did a  mv /dev/gf0 /dev/wife   :)

What a bad admin you are!
you should have done a ln -s /dev/gf0 /dev/wife instead of
using mv, this would have made divorce quite easier :)

You guys obviously haven't heard about the alternate drivers which have
multiple switches to allow things like a bind and top interface, multiple
instances of /dev/gfn, /dev/bfn, compatibility between /dev/gfn and
/dev/wife, etc.  Unfortunately, there tend to be serious conversion
problems when using existing /dev/gf0, /dev/bf0, /dev/wife, and
/dev/husband device nodes with the alternate drivers which can result in
substancial permanent system resource degradation.  Confusingly, some
nodes can be converted with substantial input of appropriate data prior to
driver conversion; while others are unaffected by this process and other
nodes go into a degraded mode early in the conversion process; often
resulting in the above mentioned node and system resource disappearence.

If this thread goes on, at least have the decency to prepend OT to 
the subject so that it will get filtered by those who do not wish to 
discuss this on the qmail list. :-)
