Issue #2476 has been updated by John Marino.
I think the "sleep" and "ls" part is a red herring. It fails sometimes with sleep of 1, 3, and 5 seconds. It now appears that memory is never allocated, so the cpdup command ends immediately. Strangely it seems to work every other time, e.g. 1st: yes 2nd: no 3rd: yes 4th: no Run consecutively... There is definitely something funny with tmpfs here. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2476: tmpfs namecache(?) http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2476 Author: John Marino Status: New Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Using cpdup, I directly copied a pfs snapshot to a tmpfs mount: mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /path/to/mypoint cpdup -x -i0 /path/to/snapshot/ /path/to/mypoint/ mount -t devfs devfs /path/to/mypoint/dev (/path/to/snapshot/dev exists, is a directory, and is empty) The final mount will fail unless a sleep command of a second or two is put between the cpdup and mount commands, or if something accesses mymount point like ls command. Seems that this is an issue with tmpfs, possibly with namecache according to Venkatesh. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
