Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG [Please CC, I am not on -stable] The following occurs frequently on one of my machines running 4.0-STABLE of some weeks ago. A problem in softupdates is the only explanation I can come up with. mkdir -p /some/dir/qstream install -c -p -m 0644 qstream.cpp /some/dir/qstream/qstream.cpp install: mkstemp: /some/dir/INS@5648 for /some/dir/qstream.cpp: No such file or directory Now this works fine on 5.0-CURRENT, Linux, Win2000 and Win98, but on a slowish (Pentium II (265.91-MHz 686-class CPU)) this happens almost every time I run the build (of about a 1000 files. It happens always with the samples, but in different places. Looking at the cvs logs for the softupdates related files I see that stable is quite a few revisions behind. Any chance that the problem has been solved somewhere between 1.57 and 1.69? I had a quick look and saw that there were some bugfixes that might relate to this problem. Unfortunately I don't have the time to try it out at the moent. I will switch off softupdates and see whether that helps, but I am pretty sure it will, as directory updates are slower and there is a good chance that the glitch will not show up if it is not softupdates related. Let me know if you need access to the machine to try things out.
