Yep, when we got multiple entries here, neither check nor repair complained.
I guess it's not fundamentally inconsistent from a filesystem integrity
perspective, but it does not make the operating system happy.
We don't have a root cause for this one, we think it's another way
that the shutdown problem exhibited itself. If you can run the latest
code (1.2pre5) the shutdown problem should be fixed, and if you see
it again, let us know!
Well, I am now running from CVS as of Jan 11, 2003. I have not seen
this elsewhere yet.
I wonder how the filesystem thought that this was "fine" since
all of the files (the multiple entries) showed exactly the same
date/size/etc. (Albeit that may be due to the VFS layer - I am
not 100% clear on how those two interact)
However, I would think that XFS should not like having multiple
file node entries in a directory with the same identifier (file name).
