[Gluster-devel] Problem with more than 65000 files

[Hans Einar Gautun]

I had to do a new test for crashing - here's the dump:

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".
(no debugging symbols found)
Core was generated by `[glusterfs]
'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x0804ff98 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x0804ff98 in ?? ()

Not much really... Is the 1.3.0-pre5.1 possible to use  in production?
Seems stable in testing, and quicker

regards 
Einar
