The `configure' command has special options to work around bugs
|
|
in some buggy file systems:
|
|
|
|
configure --with-mvfs-stat-bug
|
|
Work around ClearCase MVFS bug id ATRia04618.
|
|
|
|
configure --with-nfs-stat-bug
|
|
Work around a buggy NFS servers that assign the same
|
|
(device number, inode number) pair to two distinct files.
|
|
|
|
This bug can occur with Linux NFS servers
|
|
that export all local filesystems as a single NFS filesystem,
|
|
if a local device number (st_dev) exceeds 255,
|
|
or if a local inode number (st_ino) exceeds 16777215.
|
|
|
|
This bug also can occur with Network Appliance NFS servers
|
|
in snapshot directories; see Netapp bug#1780.
