roberts:
There is a bug that has been reported. It has been identified, fixed and the fix verifed.
The grep of copy2fs.lst is broken in this rc. copy2fs.flg works. 
Later today I will release v2.7 final

It is probably listed twice because the system identified it as a cdrom and then again as a dvd. My guess is that your hdd is therefore a dvd. I use the list when I tightened up the rules in rebuildfstab to eliminate those extra devices. rebuildfstab is quite different from early 2.x.

Tested on two different machine. One has a drive which can read and write CD and read DVD, other can r/w CD/DVD. In both cases drive is listed twice:


--- Quote ---/dev/hda /dev/hda
--- End quote ---

or


--- Quote ---/dev/hdc /dev/hdc
--- End quote ---

Not a big issue, but if there are no specific meaning of the first and second, one would be enough.

ldconfig is called after every extension load. However during booting I did not want to do such. So I  use newlibs as a flag. The flag is really no longer needed in 2.7 as it is always be set . A single call to ldconfig after booting should always be performed. I will remove the flag.

Thanks for the explanation.

You can always specify which device to use for your tce directory via the tce boot code.

True. But moving around the stick with different machines it is changing depending on the hw config. AFter the first supprise of course you can identify the issue but using autromatically the USB dir would be more elegant and practical. One can say that the chance that there is alerady a /tce dir on the host machine is low, but still not zero :)

BTW, same request is valid for the saved configuration data (restore).
