Yes, I forgot the patch, here it is...
Please report if it fixes the bug, the patch can then go to CVS.

Thanks a lot spiralvoice for your patch I'll integrate it in the Debian package. Apparently you forgot to attach the other patch, didn't you?

The hdd_space_check-patch has been introduced 2006/03/19,
this is the first bug report of this kind.
I set up a CFS partition here following
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Encrypt_Your_Home_Directory_Using_CFS#Introduction_to_CFS
and could reproduce the bug. Because of the sensitivity of
MLDonkeys ini file saving procedure IMHO its not a good idea
to create an option to disable DriverInteractive.hdd_check ().

Here is a patch which is a work-around for the CFS-freespace problem:

diff -a -x Root -x Repository -x Tag -x Entries -x Entries.Log -x .svn -x '*.rej' -x '*.orig' -N -r -u ./src/daemon/driver/driv

CFS filesystems report themselves as NFS_SUPER_MAGIC, if the
freespace is reported as zero on such a partition its ignored
in the future during hdd_space_check. Attached you will find
a patch including the patch above + a cosmetic patch for
unix32 module to prevent a Division_by_zero error in debug_disk command.

Hi,

With the last upstream update, checks for minimum free space in the
core/temp directory were introduced. These checks use hard-coded minimum values and they cannot be switched off.

This causes mldonkey-server to refuse to run on filesystems which do not report the free space correctly, e.g. the cryptographic filesystem CFS.

Surely this is actually a bug in the filesystems, but mldonkey should be able to work around it by not enforcing min-free checks.

More info about the Debian bug report can be found at
