BSD & seekdir() - Bug 25 χρόνων!
Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 12:11 pm
Περισσότερα για το bug αλλά και για το workaround του (http://www.vnode.ch/fixing_seekdir)The other day, I got an email from Edd, an OpenBSD user, claiming that Samba would crash when serving files off an MS-DOS filesystem. This was Samba built from sources and not the one from ports. Since I use myself Samba a lot and for a quite large user base, I got interested in the issue and started investigating it.
What I found out in the end is a surprise and was not expected: A bug that has been there in all BSDs for almost all the time, since the 4.2BSD times or for roughly 25 years...
