Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-3-k7
Version: 2.6.8-16sarge4
My Windows XP partition contains, among other things, the following
file, as seen under Linux:
-r-xr-x--- 2 root dos 512K Jun 16 2005 /tsais/System Volume
Information/_restore{8B199B4A-7BC9-4D0D-A34A-84F47D527625}/RP2/snapshot/_REGISTRY_USER_NTUSER_S-1-5-21-1482476501-2139871995-682003330-1005
If I try to read it under Linux then, part way through the file,
cat hangs in read() and cannot be interrupted by ^C or SIGKILL.
Other processes are not affected, and I can still read other files off
that filesystem.
dmesg reveals no relevant messages.
I tried cat'ing the underlying block device to /dev/null. This worked
fine, implying that the problem is in the Linux ntfs driver, rather
than a hard disk fault.
I tried running XP's disk checking tool. This was happy with
filesystem and the problem persisted when back in Linux.
The 'System Volume Information' appears to be invisible in XP -
perhaps it is something internal to NTFS? - so I cannot trivially
check whether the file can be read OK under XP.
$ mount|grep tsais

Version: 2.6.8-99+rm
You reported a bug against the Linux kernel (version 2.6.8) that was
shipped with Debian 3.1 (sarge). Since Debian 3.1 is no longer
supported and the kernel has changed so much that it would be very
difficult to verify every outstanding bug from 2.6.8, I'm hereby
closing your bug report.
If you still see this issue with the kernel from the upcoming release
of Debian (lenny, version 5.0), then please me know and I'll be happy
to reopen this bug report.
Thanks.
