Samba 4 diffs for building under HP-UX 11.11 (in gcc environment)

We still have the 'use mmap = yes/no' option, but it isn't hooked into
the tdb open code any more, so tdb uses mmap anyway even if set to no.

That's certainly a bug, but I don't think that explains the
results. Can you double check me on this by manually editing
include/config.h and removing the HAVE_MMAP line? Alternatively,
change the two #ifdef HAVE_MMAP lines in lib/tdb/common/tdb.c to be
XX_HAVE_MMAP_XX and test with that.

ok, thanks!

If you get totally stuck, is there some way you can let me ssh into
this box, or another similar HPUX box?

Cheers, Tridge

 
Hi Tridge,
I'm having some issues trying to build without mmap.  Tried undeffing HAVE_MMAP in config.h
as well as XX_HAVE_MMAP_XX in the common/tdb.c, and everything compiles and builds fine, but when I make all, and try to start samba, I get the following.
 
# bin/smbd -M single
smbd version 3.9.0-SVN-build-9390 started.

# ldb error (IO Error) occurred searching for modules, bailing out
Unable to load modules for '/usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb'
 
I'm not convinced that the mmap is really relevant at this point anyway, since I can create a failure easily via smbclient just copying a single file onto a samba 4 share (without the HAVE_MMAP undefs):
 
smb.conf:

        realm           = KAT1.MCCALL.COM

        bind interfaces onfiltered= yes
[test]
        path = /usr/local/samba/tmp
        read onfiltered= no
        ntvfs handler = posix
        posix:sharedelay = 100000
        posix:eadb = /usr/local/samba/lockdir/eadb.tdb

NOTE that the file size listed is always 0x800001F PLUS the actual original file size....
 
Did a similar test copying a windows file from a winxp client to the same samba share, with the same results, the resulting file on the samba share was 0x800001F bytes plus the actual original file share.
NOTE that if I copy a zero length file, though, either from a winXP client or using smbclient, that it DOES show up as zero length...
 
I need to keep poking at this, if you don't mind.
I have some ideas regarding the bad file size issue, but if this new data suggests anything to you, please let me know!
If you have anything that would explain the behavior that I'm seeing in trying to NOT use mmap, I would appreciate it for future efforts...
Finally, I have gotten the lab to 'donate' a c-class HPUX 11.11 box for me to configure and add to the Samba Build farm. I just got it inhouse today.  It'll take me a bit, but I plan on adding it to the build farm directly off my public internet connection (all other machines are inside the HP firewall, and access is completely restricted to a multi pass vpn solution, so I can't get you on any of those boxes).  Once I do that, I should be able to get you ssh access to that box; I'll keep you posted.
 
Thanks again for all your help,
Don
