--- Begin Message ---Package: lilo Version: 22.7.3-1.4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, my xsession's terminals (which I now and then run lilo from) happen to inherit an inotify file descriptor from the window manager. Lilo happens to encounter it when descending into /dev/fd, but unluckily those fds return ] st_mode = 040600 (S_IFDIR | S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR) when fstat()ed. This in turn causes lilo to try to descend into it, which obviously fails: ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /sbin/lilo -v ] LILO version 22.7.3, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger ] Development beyond version 21 Copyright (C) 1999-2006 John Coffman ] Released 11-Aug-2006, and compiled at 10:06:46 on Feb 3 2007 ] Debian GNU/Linux ] ] Reading boot sector from /dev/hdf ] Fatal: opendir /dev/fd/3: Not a directory ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ll /dev/fd/ ] total 0 ] lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2007-02-06 23:21 0 -> /dev/pts/3 ] lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2007-02-06 23:21 1 -> /dev/pts/3 ] lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2007-02-06 23:21 2 -> /dev/pts/3 ] lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2007-02-06 23:21 3 -> inotify ] lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2007-02-06 23:21 4 -> /proc/17696/fd ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# strace -estat64 /sbin/lilo.real -v ] [...] ] stat64("/dev/fd/3", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 ] Fatal: opendir /dev/fd/3: Not a directory ] Process 17714 detached While this behaviour of inotify fds is very strange, lilo shouldn't descend into /dev/fd anyway.
