https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464295 Summary: fuser command cannot operate on root directory "/" Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mike@m-buchau.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Running the command "fuser -uvm /" gives you the error output Cannot stat : No such file or directory Cannot stat : No such file or directory Cannot stat : No such file or directory without any meaningful results. The culprit is psmisc-22.6-nfs4fuser.patch in the psmisc package which adds code to strip trailing slashes from the argument path names: if (this_name->filename[len-1] == '/') this_name->filename[len-1] = '\0'; Unfortunately, there is no check for a "/" argument, resulting in "/" being mangled to an empty string. A stat("", ...) system call produces the error messages above. You can use "fuser -uvm //" as a workaround, but fuser is also run by the system's boot.localfs script to kill processes with write access to the root filesystem. Currently, these processes are not killed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
