reassigning to correct component Please do this: gdb --args df -a (gdb) run ... (gdb) bt and show me the output. Also, does this happen when you are *not* root? This occurs whether or not I am logged in as root. I used my account first and when I received the error, I tried root. When I run the gdb --args df -a then 'run' at the gdb>, it shows: 0x08049125 in strcpy(). When I run bt: #0 0x08049125 in strcpy () #1 0x0804d623 in _IO_stdin_used () #2 0x00804aa0f in strcpy () #3 0x420156a4 in _libc_start_main () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 Hope this helps. Let me know what other information you need. I am not an expert in Linux, but trying to learn more about it. I do have 2 other computers running RedHat 9 and I am able to run the df -a command as well as KDiskFree to determine how much free space I have. One of the computers is also a dual processor system with an internal RAID, just older. It does not have Apache running but does have Samba 3.0 running. You should have coreutils-4.5.3-19.0.2 installed, from the latest updates with up2date. If not, please let me know what version you do have. Please fetch and install this package: ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/coreutils-debuginfo-4.5.3-19.0.2.i386.rpm Then try 'gdb --args df -a' again -- you should get more information in the output this time. Thanks. You can close this now. After running the coreutils update, it fixed the issue. i am now able to view free disk space using KDiskFree or df -a. Thank you for your help. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: When I try to find the amount of free disk space running df -a or df -l, I get a Segmentation fault message. If I try to run KDiskFree, the window opens then immediately closes. I need to determine how much free space I have and I am not able to. I have Samba 3.0 and Apache also running on the system. They both seem to work fine. It happens whether I am logged in as root or telnetting into the system. We also have other systems having the same issue. On systems where the commands work, they do not have Samba and Apache running. Could they be causing the issue, and if so, is there a way to fix it? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2-0.69; kernel-2.4.20-20.9smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a terminal window 2.su to root if not logged in as root 3.run df -a or df -l to find free space Actual Results: I will always receive the segmentation fault when running the command Additional info:
