Subject: 0.99 directory bug?
Date: 17 Dec 1992 18:00:32 CST
My recent upgrade to 0.99 from 0.98.5 has yielded a bug involving
floppy disks. When I mount a floppy disk with a minix filesystem
on it and I change directories to the floppy disk, I get errors
using "pwd" and "du". "pwd" gives the error:
pwd: No such file or directory
but it works fine when my current working directory is on a hard
drive partition. "du" works fine on floppy directories, but if I'm
in a floppy directory and "du" a hard disk directory, like "du /",
I get the error:
du: cannot get current directory: No such file or directory
I tried recompiling the utilities with no difference. I also grabbed
libc.so.4.2 but that made no difference. I tried booting from floppy
so my root directory was a floppy and mounted the hard disk
partitions and then everything worked happily.
Has anyone else experienced this minor inconvenience?
