Hello! Most filesystems (in particular - reiserfs, jfs, xfs, nfs); maybe, some legacy installation of ext2/3 too) always return dirent->dt_type = DT_UNKNOWN, so libsensors fails to parse /etc/sensors.d. Also, symlink (DT_LNK) can point to directory, or FIFO/socket/device (very bad!) - current check insufficient anyways. I've attached [somewhat hackerish] patch to solve both problem. === cut !man 3 readdir === Currently, only some file systems (among them: ext2, etx3, and ext4) have full support returning the file type in d_type. All applications must properly handle a return of DT_UNKNOWN. === cut === Maybe, it would be better to remove dt_type check and use stat() always. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
