Therefore flag the error case from readdir(). We treat the case where no items are read the same as if the dir can't be accessed, i.e. by setting fts_errno to FTS_DNR. The bug was initially reported by Peter Benie http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=984910 where it was mentioned that readdir() may fail when an NFS server has a poor readdir cookie implementation. --- diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index bb343daa41..34b651f242 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,12 @@ +2016-06-26 Pádraig Brady
