[comp.os.minix] ST Minix -- new fs for pipes et all

hcj@lzaz.ATT.COM (HC Johnson) (03/20/89)

I built the new FS with nameds pipes and fcntl.
Basic function is still there EXCEPT for:
a=`pwd`   (use any command);

Somehow, dup2 is not happy any longer.

Will someone report on their experiences with this?

[I was wondering where all the bug reports where :-)....this just had to turn
 up when I wanted to start integrating my lockf code into fs]

I can't reproduce your problem on my system (and I tried clam, sh 1.1, sh 1.4
and a couple of dup2 tests). What actually happens? I didn't really change 
anything in do_dup except for some very minor cleanups (it might be a good 
idea to rebuild your system with the original code for do_dup and do_close). 
BTW I noticed that the test programs distributed with Minix-ST don't test 
dup2 at all.
