Hello We have a rogue test that appends log data to an incorrect open file descriptors, clobebring various system and library files with logs. That quickly renders regression slaves unusable. I tried an exepriment to thwart that threat: NetBSD FFS filesystem features an immutable flag, which tells even root cannot modify the file. I applied it on nbslave7[1-j] for the following files and directories (and their children) /.cshrc /.profile /altroot /bin /boot /boot.cfg /etc /grub /lib /libdata /libexec /netbsd /netbsd7-XEN3PAE_DOMU /opt /rescue /root /sbin /stand /usr Let me know if it is too wide and causes trouble. If anyone wants to experiment: Recursively (-R) installs the flag in /usr: chflags -R uchg /usr Recursively remove it: chflags -R nouchg /usr We also have schg/noschg, which can be set at any time but can only be removed by root in a single-user shell. I ruled out this because I am not sure rackspace console access lets us use single user mode. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
