I¹m one of the developers working with Walt here at Clemson. We are running some tests creating large numbers of files and I have run across what appears to be a bug in the PVFS kernel module. If I create 100,000 files and the use the linux ls command, the output looks fine until it hits file name 00034467. Each file name listed after file 00034466 that has 2 or 3 entries. The output of the pvfs2-ls command is correct with only a single entry per file name. It looks like we are hitting on some internal limit. Here¹s an example of the ls output:
00034465 00034466 00034467 00034467 00034468 00034468 00034468 00034469 00034469 00034469 00034470 00034470 00034470 00034471 00034471 00034471 00034472 00034472 00034472 00034473 Any ideas what part of the kernel module code I should look at? I¹m using the 2.6 kernel. -Randy
