Subject: test tarball available for omnis/fixed directory ids

hi all,
i just thought i should let everyone know that i've figured out why
omnis database doesn't like afpd. it turns out that omnis tries to
unlock non-existent locks. my locking code didn't handle that case. i
also went ahead and re-wrote the code a bit so that there's less
pointer twiddling, but i think it ends up being a wash in terms of
performance.
anyways, i've put a tarball for people to test at
<ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/asun/testing/pre-asun2.1.4-38_test.tar.gz>
it has the _test suffix because i currently have the codepage support
disabled. i'm in the midst of re-writing it to handle double-byte
codepages.
things i would like from testers:
1) does it compile under redhat 6.1 without complaints about
sendfile and libwrap?
2) does it preserve aliases correctly? i'm currently using a
24-bit hashed file/directory id field + 1 bit file/directory
identifier + 7 (4 major/3 minor also hashed) bits for the
device.
3) as a side-effect of what i did for #2, does sherlock run
more quickly?
4) does locking appear to work correctly? use your favorite
database program to test this.
