[B2-devel] VOSF problems with NetBSD/m68k resolved

[Christian B. <cb...@st...>]

Hi!

I figured out what caused the VOSF on NetBSD/m68k to fail. It was the
floating-point calculations used to convert the page size to a shift count.
With a page size of 4096, it returned 11 instead of 12 due to rounding
errors. This resulted in page numbers being usually twice as large as they
should be (explaining the stripes) which also caused memory to be
overwritten (explaining the crashes). I have replaced it with an integer bit
search and now it works perfectly.

I believe that this is also what's causing the problems I'm having on
my Linux machine at home. I will check this when I get there.

Bye,
Christian
