Hi Greg and all the others,
several weeks ago I complained that even when the CREATE tag is set, the
servers files are overwritten from the clients. For example when a file with
filename, another with filename$$CREATE=IP$$ exist, but no file with
filename$$any_other_tag$$.
So here's a small and still incomplete patch (I don't know how to use the
diff command to create patch compatible formats -- I'll lookup that tomorrow,
or can give someone of a hint to me?).
Actually, this patch only works properly together with "$$IP=...$$" and
"$$CREATE=IP$$" tags but adding the other tags will not be difficult (but its
late in the night here and I want to go to bed now).
Furthermore, you'll get input/output errors when doing for example a ls and a
file with "$$CREATE=$$" exists but no file with the same filename and the tag
"$$IP=..". But nevertheless the servers files shoulnd't be overwritten any
longer.
I think to prevent the input/output errors the servers filename has to be
removed from the filelist when a file with filename$$CREATE=..$$ exists. I
think this has to be done in nfsd.c:1121. Unfortunality another loop is
necessary to scan files, that have the CREATE tag and then delete this files
from the current while loop at nfsd.c:1121. Or has anyone another idea?
I'm only posting this incomlete patch, to ask if you agree with my code (I'm
a C novice and want to make sure that I havn't done any mistakes).
Thanks in advance for you patience,
Bernd
PS: Thanks again Greg for your hint about running it within the debugger, it
worked fine.
