Bash Version: 4.2 Patch Level: 46 Release Status: release Description: For reasons I hope I don't need to go into, I have a directory with 275k files in it on an NFS volume. This is mounted under /shared/. Everything else on the host is on the local disk. When I attempt to file-complete a path in /tmp, e.g. # ls /tmp/b<TAB> bash goes off running getdents() on everything in /shared/: strace: Process 1553 attached getdents(3, /* 514 entries */, 32768) = 32752 getdents(3, /* 513 entries */, 32768) = 32712 getdents(3, /* 512 entries */, 32768) = 32744 getdents(3, /* 512 entries */, 32768) = 32712 getdents(3, /* 510 entries */, 32768) = 32712 getdents(3, /* 515 entries */, 32768) = 32768 getdents(3, /* 514 entries */, 32768) = 32720 (etc. for many minutes) Why is completion scanning /shared/ when the file I care about is in /tmp/ ? There is no way to interrupt bash while this is going on, so my shell session is effectively jammed. Repeat-By: See description.
