You must be right since reading a directory in a glusterfs volume does not cause an infinite loop on NetBSD [1]. A quick inspection in the code seems to suggest that we only have opendir/readdir/closedir in the same function, and the opendir in posix_opendir. snapview-server seems to suffer the same problem as index, though. [1] reusing for seekdir() an offset obtained by telldir() on another DIR * is unspecified. On Linux it seems to work (without any guarantee it is reliable) NetBSD it is nilpotent, which cause readdir() to always restart at the beginning of the directory. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
