Subject: Linux/alpha vs. 2.4.20 and ISO9660 vs long file names
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 17:49:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5095-51149@sneakemail.com> (raw)
I don't know if this is an alpha-specific problem, but I am having
some troubles with the off-the-shelf 2.4.20 kernel on a RedHat 7.2
system (upgraded from 7.1).
For some reason, ls is having trouble with long file names on the
disk. I follow with strace, and getdents64 is returning the right
number of entries, but then ls tries to lstat a truncated name.
I can't say of the getdirent64 is trundating the name, but it seems
likely.
The ls program itself is likely fine because I don't see this
problem when running 2.4.18. Also, other programs that get directory
listings have troubles with the longer file names on ISO CDROMS.
Furthermore, shorter file names (still longer then 8 characters)
work fine.
P.S. I'm not subscribed to the list. Please CC me.
