Subject: [9fans] ndb database= question.
Date: Thu,  1 Jan 2009 18:31:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e1b4885441aa402a90597d42f460119@quanstro.net> (raw)

there are a couple of cases where the database= lines in ndb
files don't appear to me to work as one would expect.

ndbsearch(2) searches the original file and all the files in
the database= lines.  however ndbparse(2) opens only the
named file; ndbreopen(2) only reopens the named file.

so, e.g., consolefs(4) won'trecognize databases= lines at
all.  ndb search has special magic to take care of this so
cs(8) wouldn't have this problem.

so i would think either consolefs or ndbparse would
have to be at fault.
