Hello, I discovered a bug while trying to build new boot disks. I create a minix filesystem in a file mounted through the loopback service:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/image bs=1k count=1440 # mkfs.minix -n30 -i 850 /tmp/image 1440 # mount -t minix -o loop /tmp/image /mnt but when I create files on this filesystem, its contents appears completely garbage! # cp /bin/ls /bin/rm /mnt # ls -l /mnt total 14 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 May 9 23:37 ?--------- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 LF??? -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11784 May 9 23:37 rm I tried to trackdown the bug with no success at all :-(( It seems to be a pb in the size of the directory structure, or something like that. The directory contents is not decoded the right way. Anyone experienced such behavior ??? It seemed to work some time ago, because I was able to create the Debian boot disks ! PS: I'm running sparclinux 2.0.33, either minix in external module or not (tried both), libc6 2.0.92 or 2.0.93, fileutils 3.16-5, util-linux 2.7.1-3. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.
