1. /MODUNLOAD causes cores:
|
| 5 |
- If a module is modified before being unloaded, /MODUNLOAD (and
|
| 6 |
therefore /MODRELOAD) may cause a core.
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This problem is caused by the behaviour of the OS, which treats
|
| 9 |
shared libraries differently to executables (modifying the ircd
|
| 10 |
binary whilst it is running would also cause a core, but is denied
|
| 11 |
by the OS). There is no way to fix this at the application level,
|
| 12 |
and fixing the OS to do the right thing is also difficult.
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
A workaround to avoid coring is possible however. To install new
|
| 15 |
modules, first remove or rename the old module, then copy/move the
|
| 16 |
new file into place. /MODUNLOAD will then work successfully.
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Alternatively, running ./configure with the --disable-shared-modules
|
| 19 |
argument will link all the commands statically, losing the advantages
|
| 20 |
of upgrading at runtime, but reducing the chances of accidentally
|
| 21 |
coring your server.
|

|
| 23 |
2. Solaris stock 32bit stdio is limited to 256 fds. This breaks when using
|
| 24 |
cryptlinks.
