Hi,
I'm currently using Linux 2.2.0-pre9 on a extf2-fs mounted as /. It's a glibc system (SuSE 6.0), if that matters. Everything went fine until -pre8, and the problems weren't fixed in -pre9, therefore I'm posting this, because I believe fixing the following is a _must_ _be_ for 2.2.0-final.
First: /etc/fstab entry:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/d vfat user,umask=000 0 0
With -pre8 on, many programs I use began to behave strange when used on files that are placed on vfat-partitions. So I started testing:
=== Cut === damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > ls -la total 64 drwxrwxrwx 2 damware users 32768 Jan 22 00:24 . drwxrwxrwx 8 damware users 32768 Jan 22 00:23 .. damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > echo "test" > This_is_a_long_filename damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > mv This_is_a_long_filename t.txt mv: cannot move `This_is_a_long_filename' to `t.txt': No such file or directory damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > cp This_is_a_long_filename t.txt damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > cp t.txt This_is_a_long_filename damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > mv This_is_a_long_filename t.txt damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > mv t.txt This_is_a_long_filename mv: cannot move `t.txt' to `This_is_a_long_filename': No such file or directory damware@damware:/mnt/d/temp/test > === Cut ===
I think this is pretty self-explaining, isn't it? I can do _exactly_ the same on the extf2 partitions, it works perfectly. So it must be something in connection with vfat. To everyone who's familiar with kernel hacking: Please have a look at it and fix it!
You can sent me any source-patches for testing, you can ask me any question about my system, I'll try my best helping you to get that fixed.
