Almost there...

Almost there...

[Mike Shaver]

(kinda)

Everything compiles now (had to comment out another PRINT() in
arch/mips/lib/watch.S), and I just have to chase down the undefined
refs that the linker is barfing on.  So picky, these binutils are. =)

In case anyone else is working on this (Miguel?  You get your box
yet?), these are the ones that it's complaining about:

__mips_bh_counter (arch/mips/kernel/softirq.c:do_bottom_half, among
about 8 other places)
copy_sigbits32 (kernel/irixelf.c:irix_core_dump)
initialize_kbd (sgi/prom/misc.c:prom_*)
kh (drivers/char/psaux.c:write_aux_{dev,cmd})
local_irq_count (bunch of places)
rs_init (drivers/char/ttyio.c:tty_init)
serial_console (sgi/kernel/setup.c:sgi_setup)

Mail me if you want patches to my current working set...

I'll probably get back on this tomorrow at some point...I have "real
work" to do tonight. =(

Nope he didn't, import laws in Mexico got the machine before he did...

Excellent!
I'm going to try and con another loaner out of the guys up here (hi,
Kev! =) ) when they actually reclaim mine.

Currently, I'm trying to get my laptop to talk to the network under
Linux (can't see the docking station's ethernet) so I can get the
xcompiler on here.  Right now, I'm working off of a DX4/100, and it's
kinda slow going.  I've been putting off a full rebuild of glibc for
the Indy until I get a faster setup.  (I was tempted to set up the
Irix-hosted stuff, but I don't have the machine for long enough to
warrant the effort.)

Tomorrow, I'm going to try to build the nettools and apache with the
xcompiler.  I fear I'm at the edge of my abilities with the current
kernel stuff, although I may try and track down some of the undefined
symbols if I get some time.

  Lets be careful. I have to ship the box from Bavaria to Germany.
This might need a diplomat to.

the machine is now back on Mountain View, and should have been shipped

the machine went back to the US after the customs episode.  Now we are
now going to bring the machine trough the embassy (no way the customs
will ever have a chance to touch it), should be here real soon now
:-).

Linux ext2fs goes multi-device :-)

[Miguel de Icaza]

I was impressed by the extensive XFS feature list (from some comments
I read from this mailing list archives, and later from the Usenix
paper), so during the past days I coded a little extension to ext2fs
that allows a file system to be extended at runtime.

Say, you are running out of space in /home, you type:

	e2extend /home /dev/sdb1

(where /dev/sdb1 is a fresh disk ready to be used as an extension to
/home).  And poof!  instant extra space in /home.

This is from my limited understanding of the IRIX man pages describind
xlv and xfs.

Tonight this code just passed a lot of testing, I will clean it up and
post to linux-kernel soonish.

Cheers,
Miguel.
