I have also seen a problem with the Linux ls, readdir and getdents
when reading non-ufs partitions. Take a look at PR kern/19407. It
started with a panic when running Linux binaries from an ext2
partition. Bruce Evans found and fixed some buffer overruns in the
ext2fs code. But I must have found two separate problems because I'm
still seeing a problem with readdir.
The remaining problem is that the Linux readdir(3) prematurely returns
NULL on non-ufs partitions, and hence ls outputs too few files. Are
your directories on ext2 or NFS partitions? Does it make a difference
if you move them to a local ufs partition? For me, readdir correctly
reads ufs directories, but fails on ext2 and cdrom. I haven't tried
NFS yet.
I'd be very interested in your results of these experiments. Below
are two simple programs to list a directory, using readdir(3) and
getdents(2). Compile the programs in Linux and run them in the
Linuxulator on various directories. For me, getdents returns the
right answer with any buffer size, but readdir prematurely returns
NULL. I can send you uuencoded binaries, if you don't have access to
a Linux machine.
