the gentoo patch set can be downloaded from http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/ On the thought that the gentoo patch set is the problem, I've installed a vanilla kernel, and tried everything again (More logging this time!) Some minor things that I've noticed is that the order that files are statted in makes a large difference. When I run ls -R in data_test, it gets through some number of files, finds a single problem, then dies sometime later in the operation (as opposed to find which runs to completion after having found a bunch of instances of the problem) and will die the second time that you run it. Also, when I attempt to replicate the problem by just going into one of the troublesome directories and ls-ing or stat-ing files, the results have been strange, and a bit inconsistent. One of the problems is that it believes that the entire directory of Evangelion is inside of the file ./videos/tv/Family Guy/Family Guy DVDRip Vol1 Disk1/Family Guy - V1D1 - FoxPromo6 - Pants On.avi. Stat run on the virtual file gives: File: `Family Guy - V1D1 - FoxPromo6 - Pants On.avi' Size: 19101696 Blocks: 37312 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 10h/16d Inode: 1601 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2007-03-14 04:33:43.593181805 -0400 Modify: 2006-07-09 09:26:02.301084000 -0400 Change: 2007-02-09 01:33:31.069340768 -0500 The original file gives: File: `Family Guy - V1D1 - FoxPromo6 - Pants On.avi' Size: 19101696 Blocks: 37312 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 2141h/8513d Inode: 2013266049 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2006-12-25 06:10:23.465751380 -0500 Modify: 2006-07-09 09:26:02.301084000 -0400 Change: 2007-02-09 01:33:31.069340768 -0500 The 'Directory' that is being placed inside of this file in the virtial file system gives File: `Evangelion' Size: 19101696 Blocks: 37312 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 10h/16d Inode: 1601 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2007-03-14 04:33:43.593181805 -0400 Modify: 2006-07-09 09:26:02.301084000 -0400 Change: 2007-02-09 01:33:31.069340768 -0500 and in the original: File: `Evangelion' Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: 2141h/8513d Inode: 939524225 Links: 2 Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2007-03-14 04:33:43.593181805 -0400 Modify: 2007-02-20 19:23:18.264779148 -0500 Change: 2007-02-20 19:23:18.264779148 -0500 The two things that stick out at me are that the two confused files both have the exact same Inode --1601. the other thing is that the number of hard links on some of the directories can be absurd. on Evangelion, it was only 2, but on other directories, it's as high as 18(this is both on the original FS and the virtual one). Also, I noticed when I compiled the unpached kernel that the option HInotify was disabled. I don't remember what versions of the kernel that is for, but the option isn't disabled in the 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 kernel. --Marty ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
