Subject: NFS/Emacs bug
Date: 03 Jun 1996 21:53:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <rjvih8y88a.fsf@kleene.dina.kvl.dk> (raw)
When using `directory-files' on large directories (5000+ files) the
answer is sometimes truncated, like this:
(length (directory-files "~/Mail/ding/list"))
==> 2287
(length (directory-files "~/Mail/ding/list"))
==> 5460
This has been reproduced with Linux and Solaris as NFS clients and
with SGI and Solaris as NFS servers. It has also been reproduced with
Emacs 19.30, Emacs 19.31, and XEmacs 19.13.
The problem is noticeable when using the `nnml' backend for Gnus to
store large groups.
I cannot produce similar result from the shell, e.g. with:
% ls -1 ~/Mail/ding/list | wc -w
5456
