Public bug reported:
If I have two users accessing the same file, they can both see different
content.
For example, part of a script file I (User 2) am currently editing.
User 1:
#build64
#build32
cd "$WINE64"
local COMPILE="$LOW "$WINEGIT/configure" $CONFFLAGS
--with-wine64="$WINE64ONLY" $PREFIX"
User 2:
build64
build32
cd "$WINE64"
local COMPILE="$LOW "$WINEGIT/configure" $CONFFLAGS
--with-wine64="$WINE64ONLY" --with-wine-tools="$WINE32" $PREFIX"
I must stress these are the SAME FILES.
I don't know if this is a caching thing, a filesystem thing, a kernel
thing, or what, but I would expect both users to have the same data.
This is not new. I have had this madness for decades.
In https://askubuntu.com/q/609828/170177 I guessed that it might be
because of the Bash hash tables, but this cannot be the case here as the
file itself has been around for years. Indeed both users have used the
script within the last few minutes. I use it regularly. But changes are
propogating to the other user incredibly slowly. This shouldn't happen.
One more time for luck.
User 1:
$ fgrep build64 ~/bin/winecompile
build64() {
#build64
build64
User 2:
$ fgrep build64 ~/bin/winecompile
build64() {
build64
build64
In this specific case it's a hardlink, but that shouldn't matter.
What's worse is I cannot reliably create this. It just happens
sometimes!
Where do I even begin?
