| |
I ran across this bug this weekend and I am trying to reproduce it, but I haven't been able to yet. (I think it is a race condition.
commands while true do mkdir a mkdir a/b mkdir a/b/c mkdir a/b/d mkdir a/b/c/c mkdir a/b/c/d mkdir a/b/d/c mkdir a/b/d/d rm -r a end Second process while true do ls -lag a/b/c end
Note: The first process actuall created a.b.[a..d].[a..d] directories but I edited it for space.
As this stress test was running the ls command reported getting a block that was help there. Then ext2-fs dumped a whole bunch of filesystem errors. These were the standard type(attempting to go to a sector that dosen't exist.) This appears to be a race condition involving locks (???????) The kernel was 2.1.21 on slackware from October(slackware came with 2.0.0)
Any Comments??? Leslie Donaldson
