2.6.X and if the other interface is down. Consequently, this is not
compatible with Hotplug. [...] In any case, name swapping and

fyi -- linus has accepted a patch into 2.6.16 which fixes the kernel's
behaviour in this case. the kernel was requiring O_APPEND in F_SETFL on
append-only files even if the file was opened for read-only... now it
requires that the F_SETFL isn't trying to change the O_APPEND flag on an

it's generally preferable to tell mdadm to scan the partitions list to

explicitly...
for example with an explicit device list you can end up with boot failures

there is absolutely a bug in the tail program... this was not a problem in
hey so i've upgraded to a locally built 2.6.14.4 ... and tail -f is still
broken with that kernel. i'm wondering now what's different between
debian 2.6.x kernels and my locally built one (it's on a production server
though so i can't experiment too much).
anyhow i'm really surprised nobody
aha!
i figured out what's going on... it's not a 2.4 vs. 2.6 kernel
difference... the difference is that on one of my hosts all of my log
files have the append only attribute.

you can't use O_NONBLOCK on files in 2.4... and so tail -f is broken
because it apparently requires that now as of 5.93:

permitted
i don't think that should be a fatal error (or
ugh this whole blocking optimization stuff in tail_forever just seems
broken... i'm not sure the correct fix, but the following fix seems to do
the job for me.
i've tested doing tail -f and -F on one and multiple files on 2.6 and 2.4

however this has the problem that it will require the root raid devices to
always reside at /dev/sda4 and

ah, wait i see you add a clamav: root to /etc/aliases... works fine
except for those of us using MTAs which don't support /etc/aliases. i'm
satisfied enough making a local mod to my own crontab then... go ahead and

when launching atd it's preferable to clean the environment -- in
particular things like SSH* env vars or even LOGNAME can leak into the
environment of the daemon. i've seen this cause problems such as atd
sending mail as 'dean' rather than 'root' when i restart it.
