1. _P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_0_1_6_5__R_e_l_e_a_s_e__N_o_t_e
This release note describes patch SG0000165 to IRIX 5.2.
1.1 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__H_a_r_d_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
This patch contains bug fixes for all platforms.
1.2 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
This patch contains bug fixes for IRIX 5.2, IRIX 5.2 for
Indy R4600PC & Challenge S, IRIX 5.2 for Indy R4600SC/SZ &
Presenter, IRIX 5.2 for Onyx LE, and IRIX 5.2 for 200MHz
IP19. The software cannot be installed on other
configurations.
1.3 _B_u_g_s__F_i_x_e_d__b_y__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_0_1_6_5
This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX
5.2. Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system
are included for reference.
+o If Indigo Magic is used in an environment that uses NFS
mounted file systems heavily, the File Alteration
Monitor (fam) generates a lot of NFS traffic,
continually polling remote files and directories for
changes. (Bug #247478)
This patch provides a way to partially disable fam.
Fam normally polls files and directories on mounted NFS
file systems for changes every 6 seconds. When fam is
disabled, remote files and directories are not polled,
and changes are not reported. Changes to remote files
will not be reflected in Indigo Magic directory views.
Fam still monitors local files and directories
normally.
To disable fam, edit /etc/inetd.conf and append " -l"
to the line that begins "sgi_fam/1". E.g.,
63c63
< sgi_fam/1 stream rpc/tcp wait root ?/usr/etc/fam famd -t 6
---
> sgi_fam/1 stream rpc/tcp wait root ?/usr/etc/fam famd -t 6 -l
+o The File Alteration Monitor polls every file and directory
that it is monitoring every time any file is renamed or deleted.
(Bug #205736)

Because you want to install patches for only the problems
you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed in
this patch, determine the patches that meet your specific
needs.
You must install Patch SG0000084 before you install Patch
SG0000165. See the Patch SG0000084 Release Notes for more
information.
Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
software product. It must be installed from the miniroot.
Follow the instructions in your _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n
_G_u_i_d_e 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
iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
2. Select the desired patches for installation.
3. Initiate the installation sequence. Type
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> ggggoooo
4. You may find that two patches have been marked as
incompatible. If this occurs, you must deselect one
of the patches.
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> kkkkeeeeeeeepppp ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
5. After completing the installation process, exit the
_i_n_s_t program by typing

To remove a patch, use the _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e 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.

where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
_v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e_h_i_s_t command to remove the patch history.
