Description Andrei Ivanov 2003-07-21 13:14:53 UTC
Maybe it's a portage problem... if it is, please excuse me.

Comment 1 Robert Coie (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-26 11:42:33 UTC
This appears to be a portage problem, outside the scope of the perl ebuild.  Can
you include your emerge --info, please?

Is there any progress on this bug ? I can't update anything that depends on perl :(

what if you re-emerge perl ?

I've tried... resynced and re-emerged, everytime the same error.
Comment 6 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-28 00:42:07 UTC
It appears something is being done in the background.
This occurs immediately following a listdir() of that directory,
and a lstat call to a filename that was returned. Try again, then
try with 48-r5, and then if it is still occuring please post an

Comment 10 Andrei Ivanov 2003-07-28 11:35:39 UTC
I think I have some sort of file system oddity (ext3 with 2.6.0-test2-mm1)

cd /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12//image/usr/share/man/man3/

hate:/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/image/usr/share/man/man3# ls -al
ls: Hash::Util.tmp: No such file or directory
total 36
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root        32768 Jul 28 21:16 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Jul 28 21:16 ..

Something is happening with Hash::Util.tmp..

I've forced an fsck on the filesystem, it found a couple of errors, rebooted, re-emerged perl and the same thing happens. Maybe I should try with a 2.4 kernel.
Comment 11 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-28 12:49:50 UTC
I get the same error with 2.6.0-test2, so its not only a test1 issue. Also running 48-r5 as spanky had earlier suggested.

Comment 13 Matt Chorman 2003-07-28 18:19:03 UTC
I'm yet another person getting this error. I initally tried an upgrade, I got the python errors, and 
had to unmerge both -r8 and -r12. I tried emerging perl again, and it errored out in the same 
spot. I am currently running 2.5.73mm1 as well, so yet another dev kernel but not 2.6.  
 
Comment 14 Matt Chorman 2003-07-28 19:06:43 UTC
For me, the file var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/image/man/man3/Hash:Util.tmp cannot be  
removed - the file system returns errors that this file does not exist. Forcing an fsck on reboot  
allowed me to delete the file, but emerge perl fails again with the same error in the same spot.  
The Hash::Util.tmp is, once again, a "ghost file" and I had to reboot AND fsck to remove it. 
Added myself as a cc to this bug - feel free to email me if you need me to test anything. 
Comment 15 Patrick McLean gentoo-dev 2003-07-28 19:16:04 UTC
I managed to get it to emerge by suspending the emerge jsut after it created the files in the man3 dir, moving all files in var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/image/man/man3/ to a temp dir (except Hash::Util.tmp) deleting the dir and renaming the new dir to man3, then resuming the emerge.

Comment 17 Matt Bailey 2003-07-28 21:39:04 UTC
In an attempt to get my stuff working, I tried to install perl-5.8.1_rc2.ebuild (on portage).  It has the same error. breaking at:

>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ExtUtils::MM_Win95.3pm.gz

Comment 18 Andrei Ivanov 2003-07-29 14:41:12 UTC
I've booted in 2.4.22-pre3-ac1 and re-emerged perl and it worked just fine. I think it might be a bug in the 2.5 and 2.6 kernel's ext3 support which is triggered by emerge or something...
Comment 19 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-30 12:47:44 UTC
Its HTREE support in EXT3 filesystems from late 2.5 and now 2.6 kernels.
Unmount the FS and run on it:

  # tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/_my_partition_

.
Comment 20 Patrick McLean gentoo-dev 2003-07-30 12:59:54 UTC
Sounds like a kernel bug to me then, perhaps this should be reported to the lkml?

Especially since we now know what is causing it.
Comment 21 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-30 14:16:17 UTC
I did some time back.  Problem is to get a test case that you can simulate it
with.  I did not have the time back then (still do not really) to do it, so
not much they could do.
Comment 22 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-31 13:53:56 UTC
Btw, if anybody have time to try and see if they can recreate it with touching/
deleting files, please feel free.  I really do not know when I will get to this.
Comment 23 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-02 13:17:04 UTC
Did a quick go at seeing if I could create a test case.  Note that This
is not related to portage, as doing a make install outside portage have
the same result (as long as the destination is on a HTREE enabled partition).

Somewhere the temp file is added as a directory, or it gets
into the directory hash ? (not sure as I have not tried to
figure out what the HTREE code does):

Comment 24 Pat Erley 2003-08-05 16:20:29 UTC
there was a bug in test2-mm1 -> test2-mm3 that's fixed in test2-mm3-1 and test2-mm4 with ext3.  It may be related.  can somone test on either of tese releases?

Comment 25 Patrick McLean gentoo-dev 2003-08-05 16:23:23 UTC

Comment 26 Patrick McLean gentoo-dev 2003-08-05 16:42:08 UTC
it works with 2.6.0-test-mm4, problem's gone

you can probably close the bug now ;)
Comment 27 Patrick McLean gentoo-dev 2003-08-05 17:19:36 UTC
Scratch that, i tried it on the wrong system, had forgotten which system
 had an ext3 /var and which didn't.

I tried it on another system where /var is on an ext3 partition and it still had the problem.

Sorry about that.
Comment 28 Rahul Karnik 2003-08-05 18:10:29 UTC
Just wanted to confirm that ran into this bug, used tune2fs to turn off htree. emerged perl and turned htree back on. Still just working around it, and I do not know when it will come back to bite us.

Will try to compile Perl on my debian box tomorrow and see if it is a Gentoo specific occurrence.
Comment 29 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-22 06:47:03 UTC

Just curious, where did you get this patch from? I know *just enough* C to *feel* like this

Comment 41 Mark Knecht 2004-02-02 16:17:46 UTC
I saw this in 2.4.22-gentoo-r5. I backed up to 2.4.22-entoo-r2 and the problem went away.

What's the process for getting a 'resolved' bug reopend?
Comment 42 Christian Strauf 2004-02-02 23:08:59 UTC
This bug (40156) is neither fixed nor resolved in my eyes. Even if I mount the partition as ext2 I get the same error. There's got to be some other reason for this behaviour than HSTREE.

I have this problem too, with kernel 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 and perl-5.8.2-r1
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40237

So if it is a Kernel bug as it seems to be, why does it only show when emerging Perl? And why does disabling HTREE support make the bug not show up?

Comment 54 Andrei Ivanov 2004-02-09 23:44:35 UTC
So.. this bug combined with 35259 make the gentoo-sources-2.4.22* kinda unreliable and unusable on an ext3 filesystem.
Comment 55 Martin Trcka 2004-02-10 11:36:57 UTC
I tried (as Martin Schlemmer suggested)

# tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/_my_partition_

and than "emerge perl" finished OK. Thanks, Martin!



Comment 56 Meder Bakirov 2004-02-11 03:59:05 UTC
OK, I also tried 

tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/vg/var 

and perl emerged without any problems! :)

Thank you very much for hint!
Comment 57 Mark Knecht 2004-02-15 18:42:37 UTC
In my case the var directory is just part of /. (/dev/hda7) Should I be doing:

tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/hda7/var 

or

tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/hda7

????

Thanks.

Comment 58 Stephen Torri 2004-02-15 19:42:37 UTC
In order to turn on using hashed-btrees to speed up lookups in larged directories
(-O) you need to use tune2fs to enable it. The option is executed as below. The flag is capital O as in oscar and not the number zero.

tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/hda7
Comment 59 Collin Starkweather 2004-03-05 15:12:04 UTC
I am still unclear as to whether I need to do anything.  I won't have physical access to the box this popped up on until next month and I'm swamped at the moment so unmounting /var for a tune2fs would be a bit of a pain.  Will this lead to any other problems; i.e., is there any urgency to take action to get rid of the offending Hash::Util.tmp?  Advice would be appreciated.
Comment 60 Collin Starkweather 2004-03-08 10:56:40 UTC
Hmmm ... don't everyone reply at once.  Seriously, since I may not be able to get to the box this cropped up on for a few weeks I'm curious whether this might cause cascading filesystem errors or somesuch or whether I can just not worry about it until later.  I'm not a filesystems guy so you'll have to excuse my ignorance if this is a stupid question.  Thanks!
Comment 61 hanus adler 2004-03-12 05:05:01 UTC
maybe this could help: this doesn't seem to occur with vanilla-sources. I have vanilla-sources on my notebook and didn't notice any problem. However, now I was trying to upgrade another machine which uses gentoo-sources and the problem appeared.
Comment 62 John Price 2004-03-15 15:02:55 UTC
The tune2fs command worked for me. Prior to that, Perl 5.8.2-r1 errored out thinking I had a corrupt filesystem.  My kernel gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r4.
Comment 63 Leif Sandstede 2004-03-22 09:50:51 UTC
Seems to be fixed in gentoo-sources-2.4.25.
emerge of perl with dir_index enabled was successfull for me.
Could someone else verify?
Comment 64 Owen Gunden 2004-04-01 15:28:28 UTC
Yep, works for me on two x86 boxes running 2.4.25.  (I turned dir_index back on).
Comment 65 Jason Cox (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-13 10:42:52 UTC
A newer kernel fixed this then? I am seeing multiple solutions here. Either tune2fs or a newer kernel is the fix.
Comment 66 Owen Gunden 2004-04-14 18:43:48 UTC
> A newer kernel fixed this then? I am seeing multiple solutions here. Either
> tune2fs or a newer kernel is the fix.

That's pretty much correct.  It would be slightly more correct to say that
tune2fs provides a simple workaround (but presumably slows things down), and
2.4.25 has the fix.
