Ext3 users - Mar 2006 - Bug: ./ != $PWD

Hi,

I can't tell the reason and conditions to repeat this bug...

"ls" and "ls $PWD" produce different directory listing (of
different times, so a subdir is existing in one listing and
missing in an other).

ls . $PWD

Linux 2.6.15.6
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)
Linux 2.6.15.6 PREEMPT i686
/dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered,commit=60,quota)

A spirit junklies: This bug was noted by me during development of
a directory listing cache. (It cannot be the cause of the bug because
I have not yet even compiled this library :-).)

Anyway, maybe it is caused by hibernation... I will reboot.

This can happen if your directory is renamed and recreated:

$ mkdir /tmp/foo
$ pushd /tmp/foo
$ echo $PWD
/tmp/foo
$ mv /tmp/foo /tmp/bar
$ echo $PWD
/tmp/foo
$ mkdir /tmp/foo
touch bar
touch $PWD/foo
]$ ls . $PWD
.:
total 0
0 bar

/tmp/foo:
total 0
0 foo
