I used loopback mounts to test NFS make worlds a while ago (there were places where make world would bomb because chflags doesn't work on NFS) and experienced deadlock problems. Somebody (I don't remember who exactly) told me that this was a known problem with the NFSv3 code; reading over loopback mounts works fine, but writing apparently results in deadlocks. Search the archives; the commit logs should give you an idea of when this was (check the logs for Makefiles that use chflags). root@des ~# current -l -F Makefile chflags src/Makefile.inc1 src/lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc src/lib/libc_r/Makefile src/release/Makefile src/sys/alpha/conf/Makefile.alpha src/sys/i386/conf/Makefile.i386 src/sys/pc98/conf/Makefile.pc98 src/usr.bin/Makefile src/usr.bin/chflags/Makefile src/usr.bin/chpass/Makefile src/usr.bin/passwd/Makefile DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@yes.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
