1. Need somebody for a small test on the Irix-OS
Hello,
at the end of 2002 i posted my problem (fired because of data
corruption) in two newsgroups. If you like to read the 'old' threads i
put the links at the end of this posting.
Now i need some informations about the behaviour of the SGI-Irix-tar
and about the structure of this OS. My problem is that i've no
Irix-System (it was a '6.5.13m' on an 'Origin2000') in my account to
run the tests by myself.
For the tar-question i need somebody to put some 'big' files (bigger
than one inode) in a temp-dir.
- Please go to the temp dir and type:
tar cBf - * | tar xvBf -
- Please run a 'stat filename', what happened to the files???
- I guess:
1. The 'atime' and the 'ctime' are modified, the 'mtime' is the
original one, true?
2. The filesize is still the same, true?
1.&2. is the behaviour like on SuSE Linux and SUN Solaris, so i expect
the same for Irix
But what's about the files itself, did they survive the tar-command
above (in SuSE and Solaris they do) or are they corrupted?? In my
case, the corruption why they fired me looked like only the first
inode was ok but the others were filled with zeros (shortended
text-files, black images...).
I would expect write-protected files to be protected against such kind
of corruption. The 'destroying process' left i.e. the '/bin' directory
untouched. Is (in IRIX) the contents of '/bin', /sbin' ..
write-protected for the 'root'-user??
Thanks a lot in advance,
Best regards
