Description kehcheng 2001-04-20 21:47:04 UTC 
This is exactly the same bug as #30944, which
was reported more than a month ago but still
is unfixed in 7.1.  I am raising its severity
and priority to high and resubmitting it as
a RedHat 7.1 bug.

One additional comment: to see this bug, you
should do "ls *" or "echo *" in tcsh, or use
the glob() function in perl; doing "ls *"
and "echo *" in bash will not reveal the bug
as bash seems to have its own way of doing
file glob'ing.

Test program that reproduces bug
Comment 2 Toralf 2001-04-25 09:08:38 UTC 
We have the same problem on our site. I've just attached a test program that
reproduces it.

Also, http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.3/ contains code that fixes the
problem.
Comment 3 Mogens Kjaer 2001-05-03 11:39:58 UTC 
I've patched the rh71 kernel rpms and made some
new iso files with these. They are available at
ftp://ftp.crc.dk/pub/rh71irixnfspatch

Note: They are without any warranty whatsoever,
use them at your own risk!
Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-03 11:57:30 UTC 
The patch should also be in kernel version 2.4.3-2.12.1 and later which is in
rawhide / should be there soon
Comment 5 Toralf 2001-05-03 12:10:35 UTC 
I actually tried downloading and installing kernel-2.4.3-2.12.1 from rawhide,
but I still had the same problem. Perhaps the patch was introduced after
2.4.3-2.12.1 was released?
Comment 6 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-21 14:31:23 UTC 
2.4.3-5 in rawhide absolutely has the patch. If it still doesn't work it's a
glibc bug. Please reopen in  that case.
Comment 7 Mogens Kjaer 2001-05-22 07:33:49 UTC 
Confirmed; it works!
Comment 8 Toralf 2001-05-22 08:32:45 UTC 
How about SGI's XFS patches? Are they, or will they be included any time soon.
(Perhaps I should add this as a separate issue?)
Comment 9 Need Real Name 2001-11-21 15:24:37 UTC 
The same bug apparently reappears in  kernel update 2.4.9-12, RedHat 7.1.   Can
anybody confirm this?
Comment 10 Toralf 2001-11-22 07:26:52 UTC 
I've encountered similar problems with kernel-2.4.9-13 under Red Hat 7.2, but
the symptoms aren't quite the same; with the original 7.1 kernel, one entry was
missing in readdir() output on some, possibly all, directories, while on
2.4.9-13, *nothing* is returned for large directores. Refer to Bug 55864 for
more info.
