Subject: regression in fs/ext2.c X-BeenThere: grub-devel@gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: The development of GRUB 2 List-Id: The development of GRUB 2 List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:13:32 -0000 The following commit: 2008-05-20 Bean introduced a regression in fs/ext2.c. The effect is that when attempting to access an ext2 filesystem from grub-emu (and AFAICT only from grub-emu), it will spend a lot of time (a minute or so) in a loop that calls lseek() repeatedly (with increasingly higher offsets). I'm sorry, I spent a while looking into this, but haven't been able to find the source of the problem. -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!
