Package: mhddfs Version: 0.1.39+nmu1+b1 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I unfortunately haven't been able to identify a pattern, but every couple of days mhddfs crashes, giving me the message "The transport endpoint is not connected." when I try to access anything mounted by mhddfs. It's easy enough to fix, just "umount -l <mountpoint> && mount <mountpoint>" and it starts working again, but when it crashes it causes problems for any programs currently accessing that directory. When it crashes, this line appears in dmesg: mhddfs[561]: segfault at 0 ip 0000559e3eae159c sp 00007f2cded0da50 error 4 in mhddfs[559e3eadc000+a000] I researched this issue and found a number of people talking about it online but I didn't find a bug report on the Debian bug tracker (I'm pretty sure it's not the same bug as the segfault caused by updatedb). I believe I've found someone who's patched it already though, here's his blog post about it: http://nramkumar.org/tech/blog/2015/09/23/mhddfs-crash-with-ubuntu-14-04/. He has posted the patch here: https://github.com/ram-nat/mhddfs/commit/26d0f119eaa7e3ffaaf330bf29672e13471cb091. I'm trying out his precompiled binary to see if it fixes the issue for me as well, but it hasn't been long enough to know yet. Anyway, assuming it works, can we get this patch merged into the main branch? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mhddfs depends on: ii fuse 2.9.7-1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libfuse2 2.9.7-1 mhddfs recommends no packages. mhddfs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
