Hi:
I have a problem using stat() with kernel 2.4.20 The size of ANY fifo is always 0. There is no backward compatibility. Probably it is a kernel bug in this particular version. The problem shows up when using the ls, stat commands.
How reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkfifo xx 2. cat > xx & 3. cat < xx 4. ^Z 5. echo "abcd" > xx
Actual Results: prw-rw-r-- 1 kostadin kostadin 0 Feb 21 13:54 xx
Expected Results: prw-rw-r-- 1 kostadin kostadin 5 Feb 21 13:54 xx
In Kernel 2.4.18-X the RedHat work perfect, e inclusive in 2.4.20-X the Redhat beta 8.0.94
