>From your description, it would seem that ls/coreutils is not to blame, and xfs/kernel may be. The format of the error messages look like kernel complaints. However, I'm not confident to confirm it for linux-source, either, as it could conceivably be a glibc bug.
Were these error messages shown on the terminal, or did they come from a log file? Did you notice any related logs in the log files? I would recommend opening a separate bug for tar, as it seems its failure may not be related to (presumed) xfs's. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: coreutils => linux-source-2.6.17 Assignee: (unassigned) => Micah Cowan Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- ls segmentation fault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
