Subject: reiserfs: still problems with tail conversion
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 22:18:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010223221856.A24959@arthur.ubicom.tudelft.nl> (raw)
Hi all,
I am running linux-2.4.2-pre4 with Chris Mason's tailconversion bug fix
applied, but I still have problems with null bytes in files. I wrote a
little test program that clearly shows the problem:
/* reisertest.c: test for tailconversion bug in reiserfs
*
* Compile with: gcc -O2 -o reisertest reisertest.c
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define MAXBYTES 8192
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
int i;
char name[32];
char buf[MAXBYTES];
char check[MAXBYTES];
memset(buf, 0x55, MAXBYTES);
fprintf(stderr, "Creating %d files ... ", MAXBYTES);
for(i = 0; i < MAXBYTES; i++) {
sprintf(name, "reiser-%05d.test", i);
fd = open(name, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0644);
write(fd, buf, i);
close(fd);
}
fprintf(stderr, "done\n");
fprintf(stderr, "Appending to the files ... ");
for(i = 0; i < MAXBYTES; i++) {
sprintf(name, "reiser-%05d.test", i);
fd = open(name, O_WRONLY | O_APPEND);
write(fd, buf, MAXBYTES - i);
close(fd);
}
fprintf(stderr, "done\n");
fprintf(stderr, "Checking files for null bytes ...\n");
for(i = 0; i < MAXBYTES; i++) {
sprintf(name, "reiser-%05d.test", i);
fd = open(name, O_RDONLY);
read(fd, check, MAXBYTES);
if(memcmp(buf, check, MAXBYTES) != 0)
fprintf(stderr, " %s contains null bytes\n", name);
}
fprintf(stderr, "Checking done\n");
return 0;
}
When I run this on a reiserfs partition, I get output like this:
erik@arthur:~/reisertest/foo> ../reisertest
Creating 8192 files ... done
Appending to the files ... done

Checking done
Running the test a couple of times doesn't really show a pattern,
sometimes the same files contains null bytes, sometimes others do. The
files with null bytes seem to be with index < 1024.
I did the same test with an ext2 filesystem, but didn't see any error.
System is SuSE 7.0, compiler gcc-2.95.2.
