Hi, linux ls fails on DEVFS /dev because linux_getdents fails because linux_getdents uses VOP_READDIR( ..., &ncookies, &cookies ) instead of VOP_READDIR( ..., NULL, NULL ) because it seems to need the offsets for linux_dirent and sizeof(dirent) != sizeof(linux_dirent)... If I eliminate the usage of cookies, then a ls on at least a cd9660 mounted dir fails with not finding all direntries. So the question is if all filesystems are expected to implement the cookies != NULL case? BTW: Wy doesn't a call to fstat on a directory set a st_blksize != 0? Do directories have no preferred blocksize? I ask because getdents(2) explicitly states one should use stat(2) to get the minimum buffersize...
