If one of HDD volumes name starts with some specified strings (dev, bin, etc) , display debug message "Unable to translate Unix file path %s to Mac path" and immediately exit. patch for my Macintosh environment only bellow... --- macio.c.orig Mon Mar 30 18:15:06 1998 +++ macio.c Thu Apr 9 16:42:46 1998 @@ -1258,3 +1258,3 @@ - else if (strncmp(unixPath, "/dev", strlen("/dev")) = = 0) { + else if (strcmp(unixPath, "/dev") == 0) { dprintf("Unable to translate Unix file path %s to Mac path\n", unixPath); @@ -1731,3 +1731,3 @@ - else if (strncmp(unixPath, "/dev", strlen("/dev")) = = 0) { + else if (strcmp(unixPath, "/dev") == 0) { dprintf("Unable to translate Unix file path %s to Mac path\n", unixPath); Updated by Mike Pinkerton (pinkerton@netscape.com) on Monday, April 13, 1998 12:20:40 PM PDT Additional Details : The fix we are implementing is to remove the lines that check for /dev /bin /etc because they are pointless. I should be able to have a volume called "dev" if I want to. Updated by Wan-Teh Chang (wtc@netscape.com) on Friday, April 24, 1998 12:49:58 PM PDT Additional Details : Assigned bug to myself. This has been fixed in ns/nsprpub/pr/src/md/mac/macio.c, revision 3.2, as Mike Pinkerton outlined above. Closed the bug. Updated by Wan-Teh Chang (wtc@netscape.com) on Friday, April 24, 1998 12:52:20 PM PDT Additional Details : Made the "Summary Description" more descriptive.
NSPR now has its own Bugzilla product. Moving this bug to the NSPR product.
