Patch Release Note
Patch 86222-22 for Software Release 2.2.2
C613-10319-00 REV U
Features in 86222-22
The firewall was blocking outbound ICMP packets when the associated
private interface had a ‘deny all’ rule. The passing of ICMP packets should
be controlled by the ICMP_FORWARDING and PING parameters. This
issue has been resolved.
This patch supersedes PCRs 02073, 02081, 02086 and 02105. In addition to
enhancements in the preceding PCRs, this PCR now also resolves the
following issues:
•
If a compaction was started within 60ms of a file write commencing, the
file being written was placed in the wrong location in the file system.
This led to file corruption during subsequent compactions.
•
If a file load occurred during compaction, an incomplete copy of the file
was loaded. The load also put the file into the wrong part of the file
system once the compaction had moved beyond the part of the file that
had been loaded.
•
A fatal error occurred during compaction if a file was marked as deleted
when it was being transferred.
•
Sometimes during compaction when the file system was erasing blocks
belonging to deleted files, one of the files was transferred rather than
deleted. However, its directory entry was deleted, so the file was not
visible with a SHOW FILE command but was visible with a SHOW
FFILE command.
•
During compaction if the amount of free space was less than two erase
blocks (including the "spare" erase block), the file system erroneously
reported that a large amount of space was available for a new file due
to an underflow problem. When a new file was written it would corrupt
existing data.
•
If the file system was completely full and the deletion of a single file led
to a compaction, the file system reported that it was continually
compacting. This was because it was repeatedly searching through a
linked list of file headers.
•
A byte of data from FLASH was incorrectly returning the value 0xFF.
•
When a file was renamed using upper case letters, the renamed file did
not appear in the file directory but did appear in FLASH. Also, if a
SHOW FFILE CHECK command was executed after renaming the file,
the file system would appear to hang. All file names must now be lower
case.
•
Multiple TTY sessions could edit the same file. This caused
unpredictable behaviour when the TTY sessions closed the files.
A new command, SHOW FFILE VERIFY, has been added. This command
steps through the file system headers starting with file zero and finishing at
the end of the last reachable file. It then verifies that all FLASH locations
from the end of the last reachable file to the beginning of file zero are in an
erased state. Errors are reported as they are found.
