Subject: Expected getdents behaviour
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 09:57:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e483447805091506573daebc21@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I noticed that bonnie++, in its directory tests, does the following on
a large directory

open(dir);
while (getdents() != 0)
{
   unlink all the returned entries from getdents
}
close(dir);

My question is whether the filesystem's readdir is expected to
consider the offset value in the second readdir to still be valid,
given that entries from the directory were deleted after the first
readdir.
