1. Patch SG0002143 Release Note

       This release note describes patch SG0002143 to IRIX 6.2.

       Patch SG0002143 replaces patches(es) SG0001499 and
       SG0001287.

       This patch contains bug fixes for all platforms.

       This patch contains bug fixes for mount(1m) on a system
       running IRIX 6.2.  The software cannot be installed on other
       configurations.

       This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX
       6.2.  Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system
       are included for reference.

          o Add three new mount options for Bulk Data Service.  See
            the fstab(4) man page.  (bug #383918)

          o Add quota support for XFS file systems. mount now has
            an additional -o option qnoenforce which enables disk
            quota accounting, but disables limit enforcement. This
            is applicable only to XFS filesystems with IRIX 6.2
            patch SG0001278 or successor installed. See the
            fstab(4) man page. (rfe #313079)

          o The mount command now checks nfs options more
            carefully, to prevent options from being misinterpreted
            (e.g. "noacl" was interpreted as "noac" instead of
            being ignored) (bug #397047)

          o A new option has been added to the mount command to
            limit the number of parallel mount processes.  (bug
            #399201)

          o The fstab(4) man page incorrectly stated that the quota
            option is for XFS and EFS filesystems only. It is valid
            for NFS filesystems as well. (bug #415912)

       This patch release includes these subsystems:

          o patchSG0002143.eoe_man.unix

          o patchSG0002143.eoe_sw.unix

       Because you want to install only the patches for problems
       you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
       default.  After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
       in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
       meet your specific needs.

       If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
       notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
       meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
       inst.  The inst program does not allow you to install
       patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
       software.

       Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
       software product.  Follow the instructions in your Software
       Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot
       form of the software installation tools.

       Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:

         1.  At the Inst> prompt, type

             install patchSGxxxxxxx

             where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

         2.  Initiate the installation sequence. Type

             Inst> go

         3.  You may find that two patches have been marked as
             incompatible.  (The installation tools reject an
             installation request if an incompatibility is
             detected.)  If this occurs, you must deselect one of
             the patches.

             Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx

             where xxxxxxx is the patch number.


         4.  After completing the installation process, exit the
             inst program by typing

             Inst> quit

       To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you
       would for any other software subsystem.  The removal process
       reinstates the original version of software unless you have
       specifically removed the patch history from your system.

       versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx

       where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

       To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
       versions removehist command to remove the patch history.

       versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx

       where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

No Requirements Information Available.

These checksums help to provide a 'signature' for the patch inst image which can be used to authenticate other inst images. You can obtain this kind of output by running sum -r on the image (from the command line):

11596      2   patchSG0002143
20778     60   patchSG0002143.eoe_man
03114    175   patchSG0002143.eoe_sw
