Peter, et al, My joy is short-lived. Two attempts at building a linux kernel on a coda filesystem have failed with spurious truncated *.o files. Different files both times. For another data point, a "make boot" insists upon rebuilding absolutely everything from the beginning on a subsequent restart. Granted that the kernel build process is a bit kludgy (though getting better), but it is substantially smarter than this on an NFS or local filesystem. To my eyes, the datestamps look valid and I cannot understand why make thinks it needs to rebuild everything. Is there a difference in how stat() reports file information on a coda filesystem that could account for this? What would you like me to try in pursuit of the file corruption issues?
