Patch_SG0002143_Release_Note This release note describes patch SG0002143 to IRIX 6.2. Patch SG0002143 replaces patches(es) SG0001499 and SG0001287. 1.1 Supported_Hardware_Platforms This patch contains bug fixes for all platforms. 1.2 Supported_Software_Platforms This patch contains bug fixes for mount(1m) on a system running IRIX 6.2. The software cannot be installed on other configurations. 1.3 Bugs_Fixed_by_Patch_SG0002143 This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX 6.2. Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are included for reference. o Add three new mount options for Bulk Data Service. See the fstab(4) man page. (bug #383918) o Add quota support for XFS file systems. mount now has an additional -o option qnoenforce which enables disk quota accounting, but disables limit enforcement. This is applicable only to XFS filesystems with IRIX 6.2 patch SG0001278 or successor installed. See the fstab(4) man page. (rfe #313079) o The mount command now checks nfs options more carefully, to prevent options from being misinterpreted (e.g. "noacl" was interpreted as "noac" instead of being ignored) (bug #397047) o A new option has been added to the mount command to limit the number of parallel mount processes. (bug #399201) o The fstab(4) man page incorrectly stated that the quota option is for XFS and EFS filesystems only. It is valid for NFS filesystems as well. (bug #415912) - 2 - 1.4 Subsystems_Included_in_Patch_SG0002143 This patch release includes these subsystems: o patchSG0002143.eoe_man.unix o patchSG0002143.eoe_sw.unix 1.5 Installation_Instructions Because you want to install only the patches for problems you have encountered, patch software is not installed by default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that meet your specific needs. If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run inst. The inst program does not allow you to install patches that are incompatible with your hardware or software. Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics software product. Follow the instructions in your Software Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot form of the software installation tools. Follow these steps to select a patch for installation: 1. At the Inst> prompt, type install patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. 2. Initiate the installation sequence. Type Inst> go 3. You may find that two patches have been marked as incompatible. (The installation tools reject an installation request if an incompatibility is detected.) If this occurs, you must deselect one of the patches. Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. - 3 - 4. After completing the installation process, exit the inst program by typing Inst> quit 1.6 Patch_Removal_Instructions To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you would for any other software subsystem. The removal process reinstates the original version of software unless you have specifically removed the patch history from your system. versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the versions removehist command to remove the patch history. versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. 1.7 Known_Problems
