Subject: -88- Why do some programs parse /etc/fstab incorrectly in
IRIX 4.0.5?
Date: 10 Dec 1994 00:00:01 EST
In IRIX 4.0.5, some programs (e.g. 'fsr') misinterpret lines in
/etc/fstab, so that, e.g.,
/dev/usr /usr efs rw,raw=/dev/rusr,quota 0 0
would cause 'fsr' to think that the raw device pathname was
"/dev/rusr,quota" instead of "/dev/rusr". There is no such device, so
/dev/rusr would never be defragmented. You can work around this by
putting the "raw" option last:
/dev/usr /usr efs rw,quota,raw=/dev/rusr 0 0
This is fixed in IRIX 5.x.
