* Building Emacs over NFS fails with ``Text file busy''.
|
||||
|
||||
This was reported to happen when building Emacs on RedHat GNU/Linux
|
||||
using a build directory automounted from Solaris (v5.6) file server,
|
||||
but it might not be limited to that configuration alone. Presumably,
|
||||
the NFS server doesn't commit the files' data to disk quickly enough,
|
||||
and the Emacs executable file is left ``busy'' for several seconds
|
||||
after Emacs has finished dumping itself. This causes the subsequent
|
||||
commands which invoke the dumped Emacs excutable to fail with the
|
||||
above message.
|
||||
|
||||
If the NFS server runs on Solaris, apply the Solaris patch 105379-05
|
||||
(Sunos 5.6: /kernel/misc/nfssrv patch). If that doesn't work, or if
|
||||
you have a different version of the OS or the NFS server, you can
|
||||
force the NFS server to use 1KB blocks, which was reported to fix the
|
||||
problem albeit at a price of slowing down file I/O. You can force 1KB
|
||||
blocks by specifying the "-o rsize=1024,wsize=1024" options to the
|
||||
`mount' command, or by adding ",rsize=1024,wsize=1024" to the mount
|
||||
options in the appropriate system configuration file, such as
|
||||
`/etc/auto.home'.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, when "make install" fails due to this problem, you
|
||||
could wait for a few seconds and then type "make install" again. In
|
||||
one particular case, waiting for 10 or more seconds seemed to work
|
||||
around the problem.
