Description: ------------ Using a filesystem w/ 64 bit inodes fails on Linux. Functions that require stat'ing files (such as a recursive mkdir) fail - even when stat64 returns a 0 it overflows and sees it as non-existant... the end result is that if directory /x/y/z exists on a filesystem w/ 64 bit inodes, and you do a recursive mkdir of /x/y/z/a/b/c, c b and a will all return "does not exist" properly, but then it will keep going past z and y and try to create x (at which point it returns an error saying that x already exists). What we found from testing and then googling, is that after you include <stdio.h>, you need to add this define for 64 bit inodes to be recognized by the gnu libraries: #define __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 Here's some c code to test, you can run it with and without the define to see what happens: #include <stdio.h> #define __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/statvfs.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { struct stat buf; if (stat(argv[1], &buf) != 0) { printf("stat failed!\n"); return 2; } printf("inode is %llu\n", buf.st_ino); return 0; } Long story short: the define above needs to be baked into PHP anytime it makes filesystem calls (or at least be added as a flag as a compile-time option for ./configure). Reproduce code: --------------- To test: #!/usr/local/bin/php <?php mkdir('/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam/zoo',0755,true); ?> Expected result: ---------------- It should create /mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam/zoo. Actual result: -------------- It doesn't create the directory. Note that even when stat64 succeeds and returns 0, it still keeps going. stat64("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam", 0xbff6f2f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "stat(\"/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/boog"..., 49stat("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam") = -1 ) = 49 stat64("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim", 0xbff6f2f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "stat(\"/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/boog"..., 45stat("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim") = -1 ) = 45 stat64("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga", 0xbff6f2f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "stat(\"/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/boog"..., 41stat("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga") = -1 ) = 41 stat64("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga", 0xbff6f2f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "stat(\"/mnt/test/blarg/bagga\") = "..., 35stat("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga") = -1 ) = 35 stat64("/mnt/test/blarg", 0xbff6f2f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "stat(\"/mnt/test/blarg\") = -1\n", 29stat("/mnt/test/blarg") = -1 ) = 29 stat64("/mnt/test", {st_dev=makedev(0, 54), st_ino=4294967298, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_nlink=19, st_uid=99, st_gid=98, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=8, st_size=4096, st_atime=2008/05/16-18:10:05, st_mtime=2008/05/16-17:20:29, st_ctime=2008/05/16-17:20:29}) = 0 write(2, "stat(\"/mnt/test\") = -1\n", 23stat("/mnt/test") = -1 ) = 23 stat64("/mnt", {st_dev=makedev(8, 7), st_ino=98306, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_nlink=5, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=16, st_size=4096, st_atime=2008/05/16-18:10:03, st_mtime=2008/05/16-16:55:20, st_ctime=2008/05/16-16:55:20}) = 0 write(2, "stat(\"/mnt\") = 0\n", 17stat("/mnt") = 0 ) = 17 mkdir("/mnt/test", 0755) = -1 EEXIST (File exists) write(1, "\nWarning: mkdir(): File exists i"..., 57
