Hi When running regression tests on FUSE filesystems, I hit a i race condition: when I create a node in a directory, the parent directory mtime/ctime seems to be updated asynchronously, and some tests that check it report an error because it has not been updated at test time.
Here is a PoC: stat -f '%m' . ; mkfifo x; stat -f '%m' . ; sleep 1; stat -f '%m' . This gives the result: 1409757799 1409757799 1409757818 Which means that when mkfifo returns, the parent directory mtime is not yet updated. If I wait one second I get it alrgiht. I have trouble to understand where parent directory ctime/mtime is updated; Anyone can tell me how this should work? -- Emmanuel Dreyfus [email protected]
