Hello Eric, > Hmm. I wonder what would have triggered a stack overflow? As I > recall the kernel has a very similar limit for nested symlinks.

Quick google'ing gave mention of 5 or 15 as symlinks depth, I think Linus didn't agree to upping the limit to 15 finally. I just introduced a constant NFS_MAXLINKDEPTH into CVS (in etherboot.h), set to 16 to go for sure. At least one thing we definitively are "better" than the Linux kernel ;-) I'm not sure it was a stack overflow, but it could have been surely 100 symlinks flying past, and our stack is somehow limited I think. No matter, as we don't bump into it again. Endless recursion is evil anyway. Best regards, Anselm Martin Hoffmeister Stockholm Projekt Computer-Service <an...@ho...> |
