**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 30 02:59:56 2006 Jul 30 05:37:24 i keep getting "nfsd: non-standard errno: -14" in dmesg when trying to transfer multiple files over nfs to debianSlug. what does this error mean? Jul 30 05:38:16 the nfs transfer usually fails at the end of the first file Jul 30 06:57:48 morning Jul 30 06:58:52 hey eFfeM Jul 30 06:59:04 hi koen Jul 30 06:59:25 just back from 2 wks france, decided to kick off the monotone 0.27 upgrade first Jul 30 06:59:39 I bet you'll like the speed Jul 30 06:59:56 should I go for 0.28 right away (just saw that that one is available already) Jul 30 07:00:56 that one has the most bugfixes :) Jul 30 07:02:52 yeah, just wanted to be sure, not in the mood yet for new problems :-) Jul 30 07:03:42 I wish gentoo would update monotone. Jul 30 07:04:29 i'm on ubuntu dapper so for me there is already a binary :-) but you can always rebuild from the src Jul 30 07:04:42 jacques: even debian has .28 :) Jul 30 07:05:06 sure. I can build a whole dist from source manually. I have built LFS on a handheld multiple times. Jul 30 07:05:12 but I use a dist so I don't have to Jul 30 07:05:19 and lately gentoo is failing me Jul 30 07:05:34 technically gentoo isn't a distro :p Jul 30 07:05:41 heh Jul 30 07:05:55 whatever it is, sometimes it really sucks Jul 30 07:06:35 When I ran gentoo on my sparc5 gentoo decided to rebuild X and glibc every other day Jul 30 07:06:49 (15 hours and 18 hours compile time) Jul 30 07:06:56 when I used redhat for 10 years, I always built everything important from source - glibc, gcc, all the apps I used Jul 30 07:07:05 after 3 weeks of solid compiling my scsi disk gave up Jul 30 07:07:41 my main problems with gentoo lately are them getting way (many months) behind on many widely used packages Jul 30 07:07:53 and them deleting old ebuilds for no good reason Jul 30 07:08:33 I have fink now to curse on :) Jul 30 07:08:41 ah heh Jul 30 07:08:59 and ubuntu for making my workstation unbootable every time a kernel update happens Jul 30 07:09:09 apparently a 20MB /boot is too small Jul 30 07:09:16 lol Jul 30 07:09:20 but ubuntu fails to mention that Jul 30 07:09:27 dang: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Development/MasterMakefile isn't updated yet Jul 30 07:09:30 what do they put in there? Jul 30 07:09:44 jacques: zImage, system.map + initrd Jul 30 07:09:46 t isn't? that's surprising Jul 30 07:09:49 which is ~8MB Jul 30 07:09:56 initrd must be huge Jul 30 07:10:04 but old initrds don't get deleted Jul 30 07:10:13 * jacques avoids initrd Jul 30 07:10:50 I'm toying with the idea of making an initrd with a fancy kexec gui Jul 30 07:11:34 aka 3d rotating bootloader ;) Jul 30 07:11:42 lol Jul 30 07:12:14 would love to run that on my slug with my lcd display Jul 30 07:13:29 i keep getting "nfsd: non-standard errno: -14" in dmesg when trying to transfer multiple files over nfs to debianSlug. what does this error mean? Jul 30 07:14:58 * jacques has no idea. Jul 30 07:15:33 nfs transfers hang in the middle until i restart the nfs server process Jul 30 07:15:49 errno 14 = EFAULT (bad address) Jul 30 07:15:55 no idea what nfs has to do with it Jul 30 07:17:16 bad address as in ip or memory address or what exactly? is it a kernel error and not nfs-specific error? Jul 30 07:19:44 it is a generic C error Jul 30 07:20:08 which can be returned by a lot of system calls Jul 30 07:20:26 no idea what would be the case in your situation Jul 30 07:22:30 there is the line "nfsd: recvfrom returned errno 14" before that one in dmesg, if it helps identifying the source of the problem Jul 30 07:23:20 hm this seems like a memory problem, this is on the slug ? do you have swap enabled ? Jul 30 07:24:03 if the code does a malloc before which fails you'll get 0, if that is then given to recvfrom I can imagine it returns efault Jul 30 07:24:20 yes for both Qs: total swap: 1959920 as reported by free Jul 30 07:25:52 i have plenty of swap! Jul 30 07:26:46 best solution is use gdb or so to see if you can find out what the parameters are when this recvfrom call happens Jul 30 07:26:58 swap indeed does not seem to be your problem Jul 30 07:27:26 can i use gdb with kernel nfs server? Jul 30 07:28:36 hm. no idea, I'm not that good with gdb Jul 30 07:28:54 I'm an oldtimer mostly relying on printf's :-) Jul 30 07:29:22 not sure where a kernel server will get its memory from anyway Jul 30 07:29:37 actually i never used gdb before :/ Jul 30 07:32:51 i'm using the openSlug binary image so it's a long way for me to debug. i need to build a new image and flash it Jul 30 07:34:44 i usually tend to use printf's whenever they can do Jul 30 07:41:00 I understand this is cumbersome, that's why I prefer the user space nfs server **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 31 02:59:57 2006
