janzh Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) OK. If I mount Jawbreaker 2 with read-only then FujiNet does not crash but after the second entry it clears the high score and only the last is the first. http://scores.irata.online/jawbreaker-ii.html Edited November 16, 2022 by janzh Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 yeah, definitely an interesting issue with jawbreaker ii. needs investigation. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janzh Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Baja Buggy works mounted read-only but FujiNet crashes without saving scores if mounted in write mode. The cause is maybe the same like the Jawbreaker 2 issue. Edited November 16, 2022 by janzh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I will mention this once more. PLEASE DO NOT MOUNT THESE DISKS AS READ/WRITE. This means there is a permissions issue I need to deal with. will check, as I had to move the whole TNFS server to a google cloud instance. -Thom Checked and verified, permissions are okay with that file. hm.

Ok, so what's happening here is REALLY strange. Each of the games is being serviced by a tiny C program which generates the high score pages in response to inotify events on their disk images. Each of these scrapers are being run by a seperate systemd service. When I start the systemd services, they segfault. When I start them in a shell, they run fine. There was a system upgrade to apps recently, so something fundamentally changed with google cloud system policy in systemd that I am not aware of. Trying to work around it, for now. $@#^(%)! -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to fix the systemd units, and restart the high score scrapers. My bad. The high-scores are now all working again. PEBKAC error. -Thom 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideburn Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Whos MBR on donkey kong!? I almost got on the board (last place) and then he just bumped the worst score from 70,000 up to 80,000!

tschak909 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 It's always awesome to see somebody raise the bar And no, you don't have to mount write enabled. The FujiNet detects that the mounted disk is high score enabled, and it will automatically switch to write the high score table sectors, before switching back to read only, so that others can use the disk at the same time. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that raises another question I have regarding remote files. Is it possible to write to them? Seems like that would open up the opportunity for people to accidentally corrupt other peoples files on their servers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that would open up the opportunity for people to accidentally corrupt other peoples files on their servers... TNFS servers run as an unprivileged user. Thus the files are exposed with privileges from the perspective of that user. For the majority of files on public servers, these files are marked read only, and can't be written to. For the High Score Enabled games, they do have write permission, and are backed up, in case they become corrupted. There are also copies of the games with blank high score tables in the fujinet-high-scores repo in the FujiNet group on Github. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideburn Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Ahh, so on my local tnfs server there’s a way I can set certain files to always be read only regardless of the setting on the console ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, the files inherit the permissions of the user that runs the server. So set the file permissions using your favorite tool, chmod, the windows properties dialog, the MacOS file inspector... -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a launch deamon that runs it in the background on login. Pretty sweet I didn’t follow how the permissions were being set. Thought it was done through the server itself or something Edited December 31, 2023 by sideburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
