Comment(by CoreyOConnor):
I think there is a deeper issue here and the EINTR error might just be a
red herring.
I still cannot create directories with "createDirectoryIfMissing True" as
expected. I'm going to leave my comments attached to this bug for now.
In my application I call:
{{{
createDirectoryIfMissing True "/home/coconnor/Development/dev-
system/dist/build"
}}}
on a system where "/home/coconnor/Development/dev-system/dist" already
exists. Instead of creating the "build' directory under "dist" as expected
the application fails with:
{{{
dev: /home/coconnor: createDirectory: failed (Operation not supported)
}}}
It does not make sense that "createDirectory" would ever be called with an
existing directory by "createDirectoryIfMissing".
I'm not sure how this can occur. If there was a bug in getFileStatus or
isDirectory then this could occur.
The only thing I can think of has a weak argument.
The stat structure on OS X comes in two varieties. The define
_DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE is used to select between the two varieties.
If the fstat call used at runtime expects a different stat structure than
System/Posix/Files.hsc is compiled against then getFileStatus can succeed
but the status would be junk.
