Anyway, can you please test the attached patch? Amir was right, UBIFS misses a corner case in ubifs_link(). ;-\ I think I understand also why we never noticed this in xfstests, UBIFS prints only a non-fatal error while umounting the filesystem in this case. But will test tomorrow in more detail, need some sleep now. diff --git a/fs/ubifs/dir.c b/fs/ubifs/dir.c index 30825d882aa9..95e348a2da29 100644 --- a/fs/ubifs/dir.c +++ b/fs/ubifs/dir.c @@ -748,6 +748,9 @@ static int ubifs_link(struct dentry *old_dentry, struct inode *dir, goto out_fname; lock_2_inodes(dir, inode); + if (inode->i_nlink == 0) + ubifs_delete_orphan(c, inode->i_ino); + inc_nlink(inode); ihold(inode); inode->i_ctime = ubifs_current_time(inode); Thanks, //richard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-unionfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
