Switching to Ubuntu 10 (or, goodbye Snow Leopard)

May 20, 2010 19:26

Tired of the bizarro behavior of Snow Leopard (the latest incident was a ghost DVD image that would only go away on a reboot), I've pretty much switched over to Ubuntu 10 as my primary development box at $WORK.

So far, so good.

Oh, wait, there was one more bit of screwball OS X behavior I learned today as the result of a bug report for my sys-filesystem library.

It turns out that the statvfs() function returns a bogus value for the statvfs.f_bsize struct member. The actual value is the returned value divided by 256.

*EYE ROLL*

Adios Snow Leopard. Don't let the CPU hit you in the ass on the way out.

os x, ubuntu
