Hi,

I am getting this with lsof on AIX 7.3:

[root@crilssa1 ~]# lsof /projects
lsof: WARNING: compiled for AIX version 7.2.0.0; this is 7.3.0.0.
[root@crilssa1 ~]#

The LPAR in question is AIX 7300-01-02-2320 and lsof is the latest.  This seems to be a perineal problem with lsof.  Can someone please put a version on the MRS site that doesn't do this?  It's an annoying time-waster.  Thanks.

Mike

Hi,

Thanks for posting your concern.

This is expected and harmless. It does not indicate any problem with the fix or the binary. Let me explain why it appears:-

This warning comes from a build-time flag which is set in the lsof Makefile during compilation. Since we are compiling it in 7.2 system, we are getting this warning. But this version compilation is supported For AIX 7.3 as well.

We can suppress this warning using "-w" as shown below :

# /usr/sbin/lsof -w /testfs/testfile. -------> warning suppressed

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

sleep 7340336 root 0r VREG 39,1 9 4 /testfs/testfile

ksh 10223990 root 0r VREG 39,1 9 4 /testfs/testfile

Thanks !
