[Bug 506798] Re: du crashes when traversing nfs mounted .snapshot directories

2010-01-19 Thread Tim Nicholas
Thanks Dustin, I'm not entirely sure what the motivations were for fts but I think it's to do with sanity checking to ensure that nothing has been moved around underneath a file system traversal... But again, not entirely sure about that. One thing that does worry me is that I have no idea where

Thanks, I build the package for 9.10 and it seems to be passing the simple test case I had for it... I'm at linux.conf.au at the moment so wont be able to do more testing at the moment but it seems to have helped. Still not sure if this is something that _should_ be fixed in userspace but I'm hap

Hi C, I have not patched core utils myself. The only modern version of coreutils which has functioned correctly (not heavily tested) was the ppa you linked to above - I don't know what patches have been added to that. The version I have is coreutils_20100119~8.4.5-e489f~ppa1_amd64.deb We're just

Hmm. OK. I may well have done insufficient and ineffective testing. When I get a chance I'll do it a bit more carefully - probably in the next couple of days. -- du crashes when traversing nfs mounted .snapshot directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506798 You received this bug notification

I haven't recorded a bug against findutils but the same problem affects modern find as well which luckily enough can be worked around with './configure --without-fts'. I'd be happy enough (in the short term) to have a compile time option like that to work around the issue. For my own edification,

I tested with coreutils 7.4 on Mac OSX and it functioned correctly. I tried checking with opensolaris but the livecd doesn't have gcc and runs an older core utils version (6.7) which didn't error either. I guess a kernel fix is the right choice... It's a shame it'll probably take longer to be impl

I've been bitten by this with squid after having to kill the squid processes as a result of the upgrade process borking on 10.04 (LTS). I was upgrading to this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid/2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.2 replacing squid 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12. I assume I'm missing something

This fix appears to have broken the upgrade process. On two systems, it ended up failing to finish the upgrade. After killing the upgrade processes I was unable to stop the still running squid using 'service squid stop' or 'stop squid' or '/etc/init.d/squid stop' or anything else. After that I co

I personally think being different from everyone else is a problem. Also, this is the sort of bug that should be architecturally impossible in an init system. init shouldn't have to track state perfectly to function on the basic level of 'start jobs' 'stop jobs'. I understand there are benefits f
