Description Christophe Leroy 2001-05-30 18:07:07 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [fr] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686)

Description of problem:
When running mount in parallele on the same filesystem, I get a kernel
panic almost every time.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Build the following prog
#include <sys/mount.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <signal.h>

main()
{
	signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_IGN);
	fork();
		
mount("/dev/hdd4","/mnt/zip","vfat",MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_NOEXEC|MS_MGC_VAL,0);
}

Run it a one time, unmount the filesystem and run it once more. (Problem
happens on the second time)

Actual Results:  divide error: 0
CPU: 0
EIP: 10:[<c88c9c51>]
EFLAGS: 10246
EAX: 1df EBX:0 ECX:d626a100 EDX:0 ESI: c6190000 EDI:c025c168 EBP: c0275a50

Comment 1 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:01 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
