Not normally using rad:, I didn't save any mail. However,
I believe I have found a bug in either the FFS or Supra Corps
hard disk drivers. I need to test a FFS which is not on my hard disk.
So, I need to know the following information:
1) How to produce a FFS Floppy (preferred due to memory constraints)
2) How to produce the FFS rad:.
Could people mail me Mountlist entries? I'll post if I
track this problem down.
If you don't want to read the problem, hit 'n'
I ported a version of CPIO (unix) to my amiga. Under
a normal filesystem with Supra's drivers and 1.3, this
works fine. However, under FFS (only change) the program
crashes with guru #3. It is not stack related, or
an actual bug in the program. I have checked the program
over completely. It is also not any special hardware.
I have only 2 more area to test.. The FFS and the Supra
drivers. I don't know how the drivers and the FFS talk to
each other. If they talk the same as under normal filesystem
then it looks like a problem in FFS. If any one is interested,
I will send a copy of cpio (with source) and they can see if they
have a problem with their system.
Note: This program uses *standard* system call formats.
read, write, open, close, lseek. It does compile and
work under unix.
thanks much
