I haven't recorded a bug against findutils but the same problem affects modern find as well which luckily enough can be worked around with './configure --without-fts'.
I'd be happy enough (in the short term) to have a compile time option like that to work around the issue. For my own edification, has the adoption of fts been driven by speed, security or something else? It seems like this issue will be affecting more and more people with the increasing adoption of NetApp WAFL/zfs/btrfs etc like filesystems. I'm going to see if the problem happens with an opensolaris live CD... If the bug exists across multiple operating systems fixing the way fts functions work would really be preferable to a kernel fix. -- du crashes when traversing nfs mounted .snapshot directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
