[Gluster-devel] weird response of gluster_readdir

[Dongmin Yu]

Hello,

 

I'm using glusterfs-2.0.4 and building a c-program with
libglusterfsclient.

 

I've created a directory, 'test' and wrote a file, 'hello.txt', to the
directory on glusterfs mounted volume.

Then I wanted to list all the files/sub-directories in the directory.

 

My code was as followings,

 

======

struct dirent *dirp = NULL;

glusterfs_dir_t dirfd = NULL;

char *path = "/gfs_mount/test/";

 

dirfd = glusterfs_opendir(path);

while( (dirp = glusterfs_readdir(dirfd) != NULL) ){

printf("## %s %d %d\n", dirp->d_name, dirp->d_type, dirp->d_reclen  );

        for( i = 0 ; i < 256; i++ ){

            printf("%d ", dirp->d_name[i]);

        }

        printf("\n");}

glusterfs_closedir(dirfd);

=====

 

What I expected result was, 

## Hello.txt 8 24

## . 4 16

## .. 4 16 

 

But 

##  0 74

As you see, first 8 bytes has garbage data and d_type value is not
correct.

 

Is it a bug of readdir or am I mis-using the library?

 

Thanks
