Is there some way we can instrument the python code so we can see the exact filesystem operations (renames, deletions, moves, etc.) that is going on? The good news is that you say that you're able to reproduce it every single time, which implies it's not a timing related problem. > And for some reason its only with the Hash::Util* files that it have > this problem. Am assuming it might not be related to the filename > itself ? It could possibly be a hash value dependent problem, which case it could be related to the filename. That's not very likely, but it is possible. If you could send us the result of "dumpe2fs -h /dev/XXXX", that would be useful. In particular the last two lines: Default directory hash: tea Directory Hash Seed: 407dbbca-8326-4bed-bc7c-bb0453f79049 The most important thing though is to be able to reduce the test case to something which is slightly easier for us ext2/3 developers to run. - Ted
