FWIW, I've seen this occasionally on one of my development machines, but figured it could be related to the fact that this box runs development/testing filesystems all day long, and I hadn't dug into it yet. It would have been very helpful if you'd filed a bug for the issue, so that we knew it had been seen in the wild, and could raise the priority. One of my least favorite things, TBH, is people reporting in threads like this that they've had this or that problem with a filesystem, but they never filed a bug with developers to get it noticed or fixed. (If you have filed the bug, kindly share the link here) ;) Thanks, -Eric _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
