The following reply was made to PR bin/47538; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jacques Garrigue <garrigue@kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp> To: keramida@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: bin/47538: tar buggy on memory disk partitions Date: Mon, 12 May 2003 16:24:13 +0900 Just a small followup to this PR, as this bug is definitely still present in 5.1-BETA (using GENERIC kernel). I did the same test on a different machine, with 256MB physical memory and a md of size 256M, and again obtained discrepancies when filling it with tar. If this problem cannot be solved before 5.1-RELEASE, I think it would be a good idea to mention it somewhere, as there seems to be lots of people around who used memfs for /tmp under 4.x, and may end up with corrupted data because of that. Cheers, Jacques Garrigue
