Hello, recently while debugging a problem in wwwoffle-2.5b I realized, that stat(2) behaves at least extremely strange on 3.3-STABLE: This small example... #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char *fname =3D argv[0]; struct stat sb; int res =3D stat(argv[0], &sb); printf("filename : %s\n" \ "st_size : %d\n" \ "st_blocks : %d\n" \ "st_blksize : %d\n", fname, sb.st_size, sb.st_blocks, sb.st_blksize); return res; } would emerge this when run: filename : ./a.out st_size : 3342 st_blocks : 0 st_blksize : 8 Any idea why st_blocks is always zero? This can't be correct. st_blksize seems to be the number of blocks allocated for filename, although assuming a blocksize of 512 the object would fit into 7 blocks. Maybe that's the result of the underlying FFS's fsize (1024).
