The Trouble With Find
by Randall R Schulz 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Hi, The now-familiar find diagnostic "... changed during execution" has long been a source of mild curiosity to me. But with the recent brouhaha here, I decided to look into the actual issue at hand, so I installed the source for the 4.1.7 version of the "findutils" package (from my SuSE 9.1 Professional distribution). There are four places in the source code of find at which that diagnostic can be issued. In three of them, it is a change in either the device number of inode number of a directory being examined by find that triggers the (fatal) diagnostic. Two of those three pertain solely to the top-level directory (a find search root, either '.', the default, or one of the initial "path" arguments). With this in mind, the real cause of this diagnostic can be easily seen without the use of find at all: % cd /media # Print the device number and inode % stat -c '%d %i' dvd 14 1949 % stat -c '%d %i' dvd 14 1949 % ls -l dvd >/dev/null % stat -c '%d %i' dvd 5696 59392 % stat -c '%d %i' dvd 14 1949 My guess is that this behavior is a subfs / automounter issue. In fact, if I run "ls -l dvd" and follow it quickly by several invocations of "stat -c '%d %i'" I'll see the "5696 59392" numbers for a second or so and then it quickly reverts to "14 1949". % cd /media % alias sd='stat -c "%d %i" dvd' % alias ld='ls -l dvd >/dev/null' % sd; sd; sd; ld; sd; sleep 1; sd; sleep 1; sd; sleep 1; sd; sleep 1; sd; sleep 1; sd; sleep 1; sd; 14 1949 14 1949 14 1949 5696 59392 5696 59392 5696 59392 14 1949 14 1949 14 1949 14 1949 So now we all know, right? Find is telling the truth. The mount-point directory does change both its device number and inode number when the removable media device that gets mounted there is automatically mounted and unmounted by the automounter. OK?

Firefox email client
by Bernie Gardner 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

I'm using Firefox in suse 9.2. It works very well except for one strange problem. When I click on an email link or try to send a web page link address to someone, Firefox tries to open Evolution for the task. Kmail is set as the default mail client, and is used from Konqueror for mail tasks. I've searched the Firefox help both locally and on the web, and cannot see where this behavior is set. Thanks for any suggestions! Bernie Gardner w1az(a)arrl.net

I have IBM xseries 206 8482-1rg server with adaptec HostRaid adapter. When I enableHostRAID, I can't install SUSE Professional 9.2, because it can't find any disks. Is there any driver for kernel 2.6.8-24, that I could use? Driver from IBM is only for SUSE 9.0 I'm not expert, more newbie!

yast ldap setup
by Hans du Plooy 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Hi guys, In 9.2 installation, at some point yast2 asks what sort of authentication I want to use - passwd, ldap, samba, ect. I would like to use ldap, with the ldap server being localhost, but I'm a bit lost as to how to get it going. The manual that came with 9.0 pro (I'm working on 9.2 though) isn't very helpful. It asks for the ldap server address, with 127.0.0.1 already in as default. It seems to me that yast doesn't actually setup the ldap server, because it complains that it can't connect Can anyone point me to good documentation on how to do this. I need just the basics of what I have to do to get the ldap stuff ready for yast to hook in. Thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
