The 6.0.0 release still had some growing pains, so here are updated packages that fix the ones we have identified over the past couple of days. Right now it is still mostly SRPMs and tarballs. Sigh, just as I was received a couple of RedHat-8.0 and -Rawhide RPMs for 6.0.0. A pre-compiled, realm-aware Coda kernel module that was built for the 'linux-2.4.18-14' kernel on RedHat-8.0 is here, ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/linux/kernel/linux-2.4.18-14-coda.o I forgot if it was discussed on the list, but kernel patches for NetBSD-1.6 and -current as well as FreeBSD-4.8 and -current are available (ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/{freebsd,netbsd}). RPC2 1.17 Small files that got piggybacked on the outgoing RPC2 packets were only sent to one server in a replicated group. The operation on the other servers fails and the client disconnected. The next time the servers are accessed this inconsistency was detected and automatically resolved. But doing it right in the first place is somewhat more efficient and reliable. The RPC2 random number generator was not initialized correctly. Not sure how much effect this had on connection handling and other places that liked random numbers to be unique. ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/src/rpc2-1.17.tar.gz ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/linux/RedHat-SRPMS/rpc2-1.17-1.src.rpm Coda 6.0.1 Fixes a miscompilation of a code fragment with some gcc compilers. This lead to various crashes mostly in and around various list iterators. This affected pretty much anyone who built Coda with an not so bleeding edge version of the gnu C++ compiler (2.95.3, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2.1?) exec_prefix was not defined in the startserver script. mklka was not adding correct pathnames for the indexed files in the .lka database. Also, the server was not yielding in the loop that computes the sha1 checksums. On our servers (200MHz PII) fetching the attributes for a 120MB file reliably resulted in disconnection for all clients that were trying to perform an RPC call. ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/src/coda-6.0.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/linux/RedHat-SRPMS/coda-6.0.1-1.src.rpm Jan
