Description Alexander Heger 2006-01-13 17:20:49 UTC
runnung suse 10.0 with current updates on dual AMD 275 (dual core) w/ 8GB RAM.
When I try to copy files (similar for mv to a different device) I get a segmentation fault.  Independent of device.  Memory seems fine - I can allocate 7GB arrays with IDL.  FC4 does not show this problem on the same machine.
Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-01-16 14:45:24 UTC
Please be a little more verbose. Provide more detailed information about your hardware (`hwinfo') and how large the copied files are. Also, attach 500 lines of your syslog. To debug this, we'll also need a backtrace which could be created with gdb or strace/ltrace - the last 50 lines should be sufficient. Thanks.

requested information

I supplied the requested information plus a bried demonstration.  The segmentation fault seems to occur after the cp operation is complete - but mv among different devices does not work with this bug being present (it does work on the same device).  It does not seem to depend on file size (same for small files of a few kb).  Attached file is gzipped archive file.

Andreas: Please look into it. This could also be a kernel problem, in that case, just assign it back to us or reassign.
Comment 4 Andreas Schwab 2006-01-17 16:11:44 UTC
ACL problem.
Comment 5 Andreas Gruenbacher 2006-01-20 17:40:34 UTC
Alexander, I could not reproduce, yet. Could you please regenerate the ltrace with the -S option so that we'll see how setxattr fails? Thanks!

I'm assuming that this bug is fixed with the patch in comment 6.

Andreas, this bug does not trigger very often, but it should still get fixed, at least in 10.0. I have submitted packages and a patchinfo file for 9.2, 9.3, and 10.0. Other distributions are not affected. Please decide for which distributions to push out the fix. Thanks.
Comment 9 Andreas Jaeger 2006-01-30 20:24:46 UTC
Fix it for 9.2, 9.3 and 10.0 - swamp ID is: Maintenance-Tracker-3449

Patchinfo was ok :-)
