inode64 and Firefox

inode64 and Firefox

[aurfalien]

Hi all,

Before I dig deeper, wondering if any one has issues running Firefox v22 from an XFS file system mounted using inode64 option?

I've not tried it, but first question - 32-bit or 64-bit firefox?

However, this isn't encouraging:

$ file /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox
/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped

$ ./summarise_stat.pl /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox
      1 100.0% use 32-bit stat() family interfaces only

sooo if my perl script is to be believed, it may be problematic, depending on how serious a stat() failure is.

Its 32 bit FF.  Thunderbird also has issues.  Too bad :(

Stuck in the stone age.  Got a 24TB fs functioning as a home dir for ~100 pplz that I would like to modernize.

Ok, below was for 64-bit, even!

I'd file a bug w/ them, it can't be that hard to fix.  Modern filesystems have 64 bit inodes, they should handle it!

Is XFS being mounted via NFS or Samba?  Do your server and client
versions of these support 64 bit inodes?  If these are 32 bit Windows
clients I think it's pretty certain they don't/can't handle 64 bit
inodes.  Thus this may not be strictly a FF/TB problem.  We need more
information.

NFS

Yes, everything works except for Mozilla warez.  I'm seeing if there are any KDE issues as well.

My OS's both actual and virtual are 64 bit.  Lin64 and Win64.

UPDATE

Latest 64 bit Firefox/Thunderflop work just fine via inode64.

Testing other apps but so far so good.

Some plugins may be an issue but those may as well be local.
