hi folks, (Im not on this email list so please include me in the replies) I had a machine crash on me last night that might have caused by a potential bug. I am not quite ready to have my machine crash again so I thought I would post it here to see if anyone else has noticed it before trying to reproduce the problem. What happened was a recursive copy of a directory that contained a link to /dev/null. ie: prompt: mkdir /tmp/test prompt: ln /dev/null /tmp/test/file_this prompt: cp -r /tmp/test /tmp (hung here and crashed) This was running as a normal user on a 4.1-stable system updated last on july 31st thanks steve Steve Heistand heistand@heistand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
