Hi,
Running dselect or apt-get very often gets my hurd box on it's knees.
When it's 'Reading Package Lists...' , the system hangs, after giving:
ext2fs.static: ../../ext2fs/pager.c:396: file_pager_write_page: Assertion `block' failed.
As a workaround, I tried importing /var/lib/apt/ and /var/lib/dpkg via
nfs. However, this gives different problems: apt complains about
E: Couldn't make mmap of 6291457 bytes - mmap (1073741869 Operation not supported)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
My disk is a
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL CR4.3A, ATA DISK drive
4110MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=524/255/63
I partioned it:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 508M 199M 283M 42% /gnu
, and ran
root@stegun:~# mke2fs -v -c -O sparse_super -o hurd /dev/hda6
. Is there a fix for this, or some workaround? Or did I completely
miss something? I never have any problems with this disk when running
GNU/Linux.
Thanks a lot for maintaining the Hurd!
Bye,
Joost
