This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 639611 [details] SGI FAM chapter 8 monitor.c example Description of problem: If I use gamin to monitor an existing directory, and then delete that directory, the monitoring program will receive a never-ending stream of FAMChanged events on two strangely-named objects, after the directory has been deleted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gamin-0.1.10-12.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens 100% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile and link the "monitor.c" example program (attached) from SGI's FAM web site yum install gamin-devel gcc -o monitor monitor.c -lfam 2. Create a directory on a local disk (no NFS). For example, "mkdir /tmp/newdir" 3. In one terminal window, run "./monitor /tmp/newdir" 4. In another terminal window, delete that directory, "rmdir /tmp/newdir" 5. Observe the repeated FAMChanged events on two strangely-named objects. Actual results: Output of ./monitor /tmp/newdir: /tmp/newdir FAMExists /* after the rmdir /tmp/newdir */ /tmp/newdir FAMEndExist /tmp/newdir FAMDeleted vteCH0BNW FAMChanged vteND0BNW FAMChanged vteCH0BNW FAMChanged vteND0BNW FAMChanged vteCH0BNW FAMChanged vteND0BNW FAMChanged vteCH0BNW FAMChanged vteND0BNW FAMChanged ... /* repeats forever */ Expected results: /tmp/newdir FAMExists /* after the rmdir /tmp/newdir */ /tmp/newdir FAMEndExist /tmp/newdir FAMDeleted Additional info: Works correctly on RHEL 6.3
