It's probably because of struct dirent definition used by readdir(). It may differ depending on archs and glibc version but IIRC the backend implementation of all directory listing functions in glibc were the same. It opens with O_LARGEFILE and use getdents64 to get full info then clip it to whatever limit the called API imposes. -- tejun - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
