Hi all,
I've just got hold of a new cover mag (UK PCW) with a cover CD with a copy of Linux-FT lite on it.
On mounting the CD, the kernel gives a message "ISO9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A" and, initially, everything seems OK.
However there is a problem. All symbolic links appear to have 'lost' their pointers to the source file. Also, any attempt to access such a link causes the kernel to issue a message "kmalloc of too large a block (n bytes)." where n is usually > 10MB. An example of this is :-
duncodin:tty1:/cdrom/var# ls -l kmalloc of too large a block (56623116 bytes). total 20 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 378 Mar 5 15:34 TRANS.TBL* drwxr-xr-x 3 adm adm 2048 Mar 5 15:09 adm/ drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 2048 Mar 5 15:09 catman/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Mar 5 15:09 lib/ drwxrwxrwx 2 uucp uucp 2048 Mar 5 15:09 lock/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 4 18:06 log -> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Mar 5 15:09 run/ drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Mar 5 15:09 spool/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 2048 Mar 5 15:09 tmp/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Mar 5 15:09 yp/ duncodin:tty1:/cdrom/var# cd log kmalloc of too large a block (56623116 bytes). kmalloc of too large a block (56623116 bytes). bash: log: Too many symbolic links encountered duncodin:tty1:/cdrom/var#
Question is, has this CD been written incorrectly, or is there a problem in ISO9660_FS??
Cheers,
Mike
