Subject: Re: [Bug 739] New: Null pointer dereference in ext3_test_allocatable
Date: Thu, 22 May 2003 23:46:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877k8ibl4m.fsf@gw.home.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7240000.1053631274@[10.10.2.4]> (Martin J. Bligh's message of "Thu, 22 May 2003 12:21:14 -0700")


I think we already know the reason. Fix will be available soon.

 MJB> serial console setup during the LTP compile when I produced this bug the first

 MJB> run ftest07 in one session
 MJB> while waiting for that to complete (it takes a while)
 MJB> I ran these:
 MJB> aio01 -n100000
 MJB> aio01 -c10 -n10000

 MJB> Both completed successfully but when ftest07 finished it had the output above.
