Folks, Now I might be missing something, and I know I'm behind on LKML[0], but the following isn't supposed to work in my book: /* * Weird kernel test */ #include <sys/types.h> #include <dirent.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { DIR *dir; dir = opendir("foo.conf"); if (dir) printf("WTF?\n"); return 0; } This is on an ext4 filesystem, whereas on a box with an older kernel this test correctly does not print "WTF?". I know some filesystems experiment with streams and treating files as directories, etc. but I wasn't aware that anything particular had changed recently? The box is running almost an upstream kernel, and I can poke if I'm told this not intended: 2.6.34-0.8.rc0.git11.fc14.x86_64. What am I missing? Jon. [0] The podcast isn't dead, I'm just suffering from a cold and will be taking a day off to recover and catch up with that sometime today. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
