Description Xixi 2006-06-02 21:49:52 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #174667 +++

Description of problem:
When running mkisfs sometimes you might get error such as:

    Unknown file type (unallocated) /some/path/.. - ignoring and continuing.

To reliably reproduce this bug you need to create a directory such that the ".."
directory entry preceeds the "." directory entry when opendir()/readdir() runs.
Quite frankly I don't know how you can go about achieving this. All I know is
that I have one such directory and mkisofs code depends on it discovering the
"." entry before the ".." entry (because when mkisofs encounters the ".." entry
it switches its lstatbuf with that which was saved from the "." entry - see
mkisofs/tree.c).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkisofs-2.01.1-9.0.FC4.1  cdrtools-2.01.1-9.0.FC4.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create directory /some/path with ".." having directory slot before "." entry
2.mkisofs -o /dev/null /some/path
3.
  

Actual Results:  Unknown file type (unallocated) /some/path/.. - ignoring and
continuing.

Expected Results:  No output

Perhaps somebody might explain why this ticket suddenly closed itself a few
minutes ago.  I certainly didn't.

Why wont the bug be fixed?

I see the bug, but I wont fix this. Please report this bug to the author of
mkisofs. The fix would need some more changes, than I am willing to patch in
every version.

Your problem has been fixed in the original software some time
ago....

The patch from harald is not sufficient to make things right.

Please fetch recent original software from:
