Hi. I was doing a little bit of development work last night and I ran into a big problem when moving some files around: when I did an cd /dosd/Dev/BlahStuff mv blah.cpp blah2.cpp it did the move, but blah2.cpp became a directory!!! Not only that, but it was a cycle as well, with /dosd/Dev/BlahStuff/blah2.cpp pointing to /dosd and it wasn't a symlink or a hard link either. /dosd is a FAT16, 2 gig [1st] primary partition, 4 gig FAST SCSI-2 drive, mounted as VFAT That was pretty freaky. Also, I'd noticed some strange behavior earlier when I copied a file and the destination file seemed empty (at least when I did a cat, or less on it), but then later on it synced up and actually had the right stuff in it. Machine config: RedHat Linux 5.0, kernel 2.1.131 with SMP=1 SuperMicro P6DLE, dual Pentium-II motherboard with two matched Intel Pentium-II 300 MHz CPUs overclocked to 375 MHz via 75 MHz bus, 192 megs PC-100 SDRAM, Adaptec 2940UW, 24X Pioneer SCSI CDROM, Micropolis 4.3 gig SCSI (/dosd partition lives here), Seagate 6.4 gig UDMA drive (Linux is installed on 2nd primary partition here), 128 megs swap (primary partition 3 on UDMA drive), 3Com 3C905-TX ethernet. Is this a known bug? Fixes? Fixed in later 2.1.x kernels? SMP work ok in the last 2.1.x kernel? Should I try a 2.2 kernel and is SMP ok in 2.2? Is there NTFS support yet??? I was planning on redoing the machine anyways with RedHat 5.2 and the latest 2.1.x kernel.
