FiSC mainly focuses on finding crash-recovery errors. We applied it to FiSC and found a serious error where crash then recovery cause the file system to contain loops. To reproduce the warning, download and run our test cases at http://fisc.stanford.edu/bug7/crash.c (for msdos) http://fisc.stanford.edu/bug10/crash.c (for vfat) you can also find the crashed disk images in the corresponding directories. We are not sure if these are bugs or not. Your confirmations/clarifications on this are well appreciated. -Junfeng - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
