Hi to all, Since kernel 2.6.4 I'm not able to access files with a special character in the file name, such as the german umlaute. Every attempt to access such a file gives me the error: cannot stat file I'm using several partitions with JFS file system and had never seen such a strange behavior before. The relevant kernel settings are at the bottom of the mail. I already unmounted the partition and run fsck on it (fsck.jfs -f /dev/hda8), but it told me that everything is ok and I'm still not able to access this files. Also a reboot of the machine didn't change anything. I booted 2.6.3 again and renamed the files in question (no more special characters in the file name). Now I can access these files with 2.6.4 also. Allthough I'm a programmer, I'm not a kernel hacker and don't know where to start looking for this problem. Could anybody give me a hint where to start looking? ------------------------- Kernel 2.6.4 settings (.config) # # File systems # CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS_SECURITY=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY=y CONFIG_JBD=y # CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_FS_MBCACHE=y CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y # CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set # CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set CONFIG_JFS_FS=y CONFIG_JFS_POSIX_ACL=y # CONFIG_JFS_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_JFS_STATISTICS=y CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y # CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set CONFIG_MINIX_FS=y # CONFIG_ROMFS_FS is not set CONFIG_QUOTA=y # CONFIG_QFMT_V1 is not set CONFIG_QFMT_V2=y CONFIG_QUOTACTL=y CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=y CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=y -- Andreas Theofilu http://www.TheosSoft.net/ --==| Enjoy the science of Linux! |==-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
