Hi, I have recently merged my /home-s in a single ext2fs partition mounted both from FreeBSD and from Linux (a common configuration I suspect). Everything seems to be OK so far apart from 2 problems I am having: 1) The FreeBSD port of pine (both 3 & 4) cannot properly access folders on the ext2fs, since the files get locked and remain so for some 5 minutes. This is NOT related with file permissions as, if I make $HOME/mail a symlink to a UFS directory, pine locks work just fine. 2) "ls -l" does NOT report correctly on the number of links for ext2fs files and returns 0 for all. I don't know enough about the locking mechanisms implemented in pine but my feeling is that these two problems may be related. Your help/suggestions will be appreciated.
