we will fix that up when we clean up the procfs
stuff and switch to sequencer operations ...

it is absolutely harmless and similar to the wrong
filesystem size reported for the entries ...

Well, you'd first have to implement it in the kernel ;)



Ok, so for the guy that thinks of 'C' as the third letter in the 
alphabet, it will be a reboot to fix this instance.



I think you misunderstood me, there's no way to "fix" it, other than 
implementing the needed kernel support. As soon as you have a guest 
running, the count will be incorrect again.


Nope I understood but I was thinking my creating/deleting was causing 
the counts to get out of alignment and that reboot of the host would get 
them back into harmony -- until my next round of creating and deleting.



Thanks,
Rod

I think you misunderstood me, there's no way to "fix" it, other than 
implementing the needed kernel support. As soon as you have a guest 
running, the count will be incorrect again.

No, not at all. It seems we

just don't keep track of how many directories are inside /proc/virtual

Does it bother anyone else?  Has anyone else ran into it?  Could it mask 
other more dangerous problems?

[Vserver] /proc/virtnet error

2006-07-06 Thread Roderick A. Anderson

While doing some clean up I was looking for remnants of a guest.

When I ran:

# find / -name '*vs666*'

I got the following error message right away.

WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/virtnet: this may be a bug 
in your filesystem driver.


Since this directory has the context of guests as subdirs I was 
wondering if I might have caused this while _playing_ around -- 
creating, copying, deleting guests, etc.


The host system is build from Daniel's excellent FC5 RPMs and 
instructions with the guests built using the vyum method.


Filesystem is ext3 built on software raid ( with no other errors -- even 
at the console ).
