Subject: UMSDOS symlink bug
Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2001 21:46:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B1A943A.33107832@alarsen.net> (raw)
Hi,
last week I got bitten by the UMSDOS symlink bug (symlinks are
created with the last character missing).
After having found and fixed the problem, I located your address
to report it and found that the problem (and the fix!) has been
known for at least half a year.
Although your patches for other problems with UMSDOS may or
may not be ready for Linus yet, the one-liner symlink patch
should IMHO be submitted asap, since it is an obvious fix for
an obvious bug.
Apart from the symlink bug, I haven't seen any of the other
known problems (but now that I have seen your list, I'll try
systematically).
BTW, I create the UMSDOS fs on an ATA flash disk using a 2.4.5
box for use in an embedded system running 2.2.19
cheers
Anders
