Hi, I got the problem too. I've used the cryptographic file system (cfs) recently with the generic kernel, cmkdir hangs after entering the password the second time. I've never seen this behavior before. When I get cmkdir hanging, top(1) shows that it is in an infinite-cpu loop.Than what's the problem?
Best regards and looking foward to hearing from you. --------------------------------------------------- Re: a problem with cfs cmkdir from [Jonathan Thornburg] To: ports@openbsd.org Subject: Re: a problem with cfs cmkdir From: Jonathan Thornburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 16:37:03 +0200 (CEST) Cc: Jonathan Thornburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [[discussion moved here from misc@ since cfs is a port]] In a recent msg to the openbsd-misc list, Rob wrote I've used the cryptographic file system (cfs) for years, but on 3.7 with the generic kernel, cmkdir hangs after entering the password the second time. I've never seen this behavior before. I've tried different ciphers to no avail. As cfs is kind of old software with little documentation, perhaps anyone who is successfully using it could just contact me off-list. Or if anyone else cares, on-list. In any case... I too have been using cfs (with no problems) for a long time (I've got lots of E-mail archives and personal correspondence stored under it). I don't have a 3.7 box right now, but as of 3.6-stable it seems fine... with the caveat that I don't think I've done any cmkdir-s for a while. I'll try some tests tonite for a confirmation and let you know. When you get cmkdir hanging, what does top(1) show -- is cmkdir and/or cfsd in an infinite-cpu loop, or just waiting? Are you able to cattach existing cfs filesystems and use them ok? ciao, Best regards David --------------------------
