| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - bzipfs and gzipfs now properly return errno values directly from their read routines rather than returning -1. - missing errno values on error returns for the seek routines on almost all filesystems were added. - fstat() now returns -1 if an error occurs rather than ignoring it. - nfs's readdir() routine now reports valid errno values if an error or EOF occurs rather than EPERM (It was just returning 0 for success and 1 for failure). - nullfs used the wrong semantics for every function besides close() and seek(). Getting it right for close() appears to be an accident at that. - read() for buffered files no longer returns 0 (EOF) if an error occurs, but returns -1 instead.

modules split across several physical medias. Following is how it works: The splitfs code, when asked to open "foo" looks for a file "foo.split" which is a text file containing a list of filenames and media names, e.g. foo.aa "Kernel floppy 1" foo.ab "Kernel floppy 2" foo.ac "Kernel and modules floppy" For each file segment, the process is: - try to open the file - prompt "Insert the disk labelled <whatever> and press any key..." - try to open the file - return error if file could not be located RE team is free to use this feature in the upcoming 5.0-DP1.
