LS, on 1.7.8 files the contents of a file on a netapp share can not be read by all programs. The attached files 176.txt and 178.txt are the outputs of script file.sh on 1.7.6 and on the 20101118 snapshot.
On both 176.txt and 178.txt a file can be created, and its contents listed with the cat command. However on 176.txt the file command correctly reports "ASCII text", on 178.txt it reports "empty". I came across this with C-header files stored on this share. The preprocessor finds the header files, but won't read the contents. It will for instance report missing prototypes. The file command seems to reproduce this issue. Teun
