Description Kaleb KEITHLEY 2015-04-27 00:31:56 UTC

Description of problem:

When `make dist` is run, several tests in .../tests/bugs/... are omitted because the length of the FQ pathname is > 99 chars.

By default automake forces tar to use old Unix V7 tar file format with a limit on the length of file nams.

    build: configure: automake defaults to max filename length=99 chars
    
    automake's default rule for making tar files invokes tar with options
    to use Unix V7 tar file format, which has a maximum FQ pathname length
    of 99 characters. Some of the new tests in .../tests/bugs/... have names
    that are longer than 99 chars. These files are dropped from the dist
    tarfile.
    
    automake can be configured to use a newer (POSIX 2001) tar format that
    does not have limits on the length of file names.

Fix for this BZ is already present in a GlusterFS release. You can find clone of this BZ, fixed in a GlusterFS release and closed. Hence closing this mainline BZ as well.

Fix for this bug is already made in a GlusterFS release. The cloned BZ has details of the fix and the release. Hence closing this mainline BZ.

Comment 5 Niels de Vos 2016-06-16 12:55:58 UTC

This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.8.0, please open a new bug report.

glusterfs-3.8.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
