Hello!
I'm experiencing mysterious "File exists" errors when running
scripts that are flooding the filesystem with operations, like
make clean, or make menuconfig in the kernel tree, or emerge sync
(it's Gentoo Linux), etc. This may or may not be an xfs problem,
but I don't know how to track it down... No clear error messages
from the kernel or anything, just these mysterious errors
everywhere because of existing directories which should not exist
at that point. The directories can be deleted by hand after a
script/makefile aborts with such an error. It's reproducible and
apparently hits the same directories over and over.
I'm using Gentoo xfs-sources-2.4.22 (w/XFS snapshot 2003.10.10)
and the whole system including the kernel was compiled with
gcc-3.3.2. The userland was compiled using "-march=pentium4
-mfpmath=sse -O3 -pipe". The underlying filesystems are 1-2
gigs in size, created with -l internal,size=16m.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Szabolcs Rumi
