I have been fiddling with the jetroff distribution and decided, due to a lack
of disk space to put the fonts by themselves on a floppy and mount it thus:
$ mount /dev/dsk/f0q15dt ~det/src/jetroff/font/devjet/pk
But, then note the following output from df:
$ df
/ (/dev/dsk/0s1 ): 5484 blocks 2002 i-nodes
/usr (/dev/dsk/0s3 ): 12458 blocks 5662 i-nodes
/usr/users (/dev/dsk/0s4 ): 5076 blocks 1000 i-nodes
/usr/ubin (/dev/dsk/0s8 ): 3970 blocks 73 i-nodes
/usr/spool/uucp (/dev/dsk/0s5 ): 5064 blocks 1365 i-nodes
/usr/spool/news (/dev/dsk/1s3 ): 18160 blocks 12523 i-nodes
/usr/users/det/src/jetroff/font/ (/dev/dsk/f0q15dt): 5076 blocks* 1000 i-nodes
The number of inodes and blocks is incorrect (in addition to the mount point
being truncated, but thats not a big beef).
I suspect that df is getting lost after a certain number of chars in the path
and just printing garbage. (ooohhh, that smell! (:-))
$ labelit /dev/dsk/f0q15dt
Current fsname: pk, Current volname: 01M_T7, Blocks: 2400, Inodes: 240
FS Units: 1Kb, Date last modified: Fri Sep 23 08:36:57 1988
Then after i had done a:
$ du pk
1561 /usr/tmp/fonts/font/devjet/pk
$ find pk -print|cpio -padmv ~det/src/jetroff/font/devjet/pk
it ran out disk space on the floppy (the floppy was empty, thus had ~2400
blocks on it) and then the device became inaccessable and the directory itself
dissappeared!
Anyone seen this problem or have a fix for it?
Ps. Normally i would have just sent this to uport, but my mail seems to be
mysteriously dissappearing.. (:-(
PPs. Please, unless there is a *real* reason why i shouldn't mount a device on
such a long path name (like its stated somewhere in the documentation
that one shouldn't exceed X chars in the path name, etc), don't flame me
for using a path name like the above. I don't think its terribly
unreasonable.
