I don't know if this is an alpha-specific problem, but I am having some troubles with the off-the-shelf 2.4.20 kernel on a RedHat 7.2 system (upgraded from 7.1).
For some reason, ls is having trouble with long file names on the disk. I follow with strace, and getdents64 is returning the right number of entries, but then ls tries to lstat a truncated name. I can't say of the getdirent64 is trundating the name, but it seems likely.
The ls program itself is likely fine because I don't see this problem when running 2.4.18. Also, other programs that get directory listings have troubles with the longer file names on ISO CDROMS. Furthermore, shorter file names (still longer then 8 characters) work fine.
P.S. I'm not subscribed to the list. Please CC me.
