Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5.3 Severity: important
Really funny things happening: virtual:~# mount | grep /backup /dev/sdc1 on /backup type ext3 (ro) 127.0.0.1:/backup/vz/104 on /var/lib/vz/root/104/backup type nfs (ro,soft,nolock,port=2049,mountport=2049,noudp,tcp,addr=127.0.0.1) virtual:~# uname -a Linux virtual 2.6.18+openvz #1 SMP Sun Mar 23 19:15:17 CET 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux mount /backup -o remount,rw; cp -al /backup/vz/104/backup.0 /backup/vz/104/backup.TEST; mount /backup -o remount,ro cp: cannot create hard link `/backup/vz/104/backup.TEST/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260' to `/backup/vz/104/backup.TEST/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260': No such file or directory Yes, that file is missing on the copy. Thus I can hardlink it by hand: virtual:~# mount /backup -o remount,rw; cp -al /backup/vz/104/backup.0/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260 /backup/vz/104/backup.TEST/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260; mount /backup -o remount,ro and this is reproductible *each time*. Note the bizarre error message above (hardlinking over itself). Do it once more: virtual:~# mount /backup -o remount,rw; cp -al /backup/vz/104/backup.0 /backup/vz/104/backup.TEST2; mount /backup -o remount,ro cp: cannot create hard link `/backup/vz/104/backup.TEST2/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260' to `/backup/vz/104/backup.TEST2/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260': No such file or directory look at the file more carefully: virtual:~# ls -lai /backup/vz/104/backup.0/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260 14354482 -rw-rw-r-- 9 news news 1877 Jan 21 11:13 /backup/vz/104/backup.0/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260 virtual:~# lsattr /backup/vz/104/backup.0/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260 ------------------ /backup/vz/104/backup.0/scratch/news/articles/fr/comp/developpement/agl/windev/63260 If I remove that file and start the cp -al over to a new destination, the error disappears. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18+openvz Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.41-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
