RE: [Samba] tail -f the missing data:2.2.5, 2.2.19-6.2.16,

2002-10-16 Thread Sean Cullen

Yes - RH7.2 + default 2.4 Kernels seem to solve 
the problem. So looks like I'll have to reinstall 
a bunch of machines.

Out of curiosity, if you knew what was causing this
in the 2.2 Kernel, I'd be interested.

Thanks,

Sean.

Any chance of testing this on a 2.4.19 kernel?

Most likely smb_revalidate_inode and friends. The client doesn't see the
size change (I believe tail -f looks for a size change ...) so it doesn't
read anything. But when opening for editing the data is checked again and
the changes appear.

It would be possible to compare the code between kernels and fix it in 2.2
also.
