| |
I noticed this weekend that "rm -rf" doesn't work very well on SMBFS because as its dircache gets repopulated, a whole bunch of entries are skipped which happen to now be below filp->f_pos.
A cursory glance at the NFS and NCPFS file systems seems to show that the former doesn't have this problem, but NCPFS may.
Has this issue been raised before? Otherwise, thoughts/ideas? I've thought about "snapshotting" the dircache during the initial readdir(), but it seems like a waste of memory and there doesn't appear to be any clean way to know when the user is done using readdir() unless they go all the way to the last readdir() entry.
thanks, -mike
