[comp.os.minix] Disappearing directory

greg@mobius.Viewlogic.COM (Gregory Larkin) (02/15/91)

Hi all,

I just noticed a strange phenomena under Minix V1.3.  If a process
hangs, I typically force a logout with CTRL-ALT-F9.  I then log back
in and start up "update".  I then "cd" to a directory on my hard disk
partition (/dev/hd7) and type "pwd".  It says "..:No such file or
directory".  It seems that stat is broken somehow.  This won't go away
until the machine is rebooted.

Am I doing something wrong or does anyone know what is happening here?

Thanks,
