I've got a weird problem a while back - my initrd script
does not work when the root is on cciss device. It turned
out to be a problem with $SUBJ. /dev/cciss/ is quite large
(alot of disks and partitions), and when initrd is on tmpfs
(initramfs it really is), and run-init is executed, it tries
to remove /dev/cciss, it fails. And here's why.
uclibc does the following on readdir():
open(.., O_DIRECTORY) = 3
getdents(3, /* 197 entries */, 3933) = 3932
lseek(3, 2728, SEEK_SET) = 2728
unlink(..)
....
getdents(3, /* 85 entries */, 3933) = 1700
unlink()
....
getdents(3, /* 196 entries */, 3933) = 3920
lseek(3, 6816, SEEK_SET) = 6816
....
and finally rmdir() which fails with "Directory
not empty" error.
And eg glibc, or dietlibc, or klibc - it's all
the same but without all the lseek()s, and with
final rmdir() successeful.
It's on tmpfs.
On ext[23], final rmdir succed on both cases,
ie, with and without lseek.
Is it a bug in tmpfs, or in uclibc?
Thanks.
