From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: Dear RedHat I'm experiencing something really strange: I've mounted a directory from our mainframe SGI running IRIX 6.5. In my directory there are files called main0{0,1,2,3,4}.pdf., however for some reason globbing cannot see main01.pdf: [sporring@solsikke ~/lectures]$ ls main*.pdf main00.pdf main02.pdf main03.pdf main04.pdf [sporring@solsikke ~/lectures]$ ls main01.pdf main01.pdf I've tested several SGI's all running IRIX 6.5 and all showing same behavior. I experience something similar with gFTP, where the file is invisible in the 'local' subwindow but not in the 'remote' subwindow. However I don't experience this when the files are copied to a local directory: [sporring@solsikke tmp]$ ls main*.pdf main00.pdf main01.pdf main02.pdf main03.pdf main04.pdf Thus, it seems to be the connection Linux<->IRIX. Do you have an idea to what could be wrong? Thanks, Jon Sporring Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Produce files on SGI called main0{0,1,2,3,4}.pdf 2. mount directory on Linux 3. ls main*.pdf Actual Results: Globbing does not produce the file main01.pdf Expected Results: It should have! Additional info: See description
I discover such a problem this morning (NFS client under RH 7.1, kernel 2.4.2 RH, NFS server under Irix 6.5.2m). Using tcsh, a directory was missing when using completion. I have no problem with bash (using strace showed me that tcsh use a different way than bash to list directory contents (more operations)). I had the same problem under Mandrake (sorry to speak about...), with kernel 2.4.2. I upgraded it with 2.4.7, and the problem disappeared. I'll have a look at my RH 7.1 system to see 2.4.3 RH will fix the problem, or I'll install a custom kernel.
This was a known bug relating to 32 bit Linux clients and 64 bit IRIX servers. There was a work-around patch for Linux, but the real solution is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.13, and possibly add the 32bitclients flag to IRIX exports. (You'll find that IRIX and Linux are poor NFS partners). Joe Krahn
I've upgraded my IRIX system to 6.5.13m and set the 32bitclients option but it doesn't help. Do you have any other ideas? Michael Plass
