That's rather old. Can you repeat it with the latest stable release of 8.6? Meanwhile, I'm wondering if your setup is a duplicate of this report: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2010-11/msg00011.html although it's hard to say, since you didn't provide any information about what platform and kernel version you tested on. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
