I dimly recall that one. Didn't it happen only in some very obscure |
| 14 |
circumstances that rarely happens in real life? Like rapidly mounting |
| 15 |
and unmounting the filesystem in a very specific use-scenario? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
What I do recall clearly is my conclusion at the time that the bug was |
| 18 |
just that - a bug. All software has bugs and not all bugs are equal; one |
| 19 |
has to learn to categorize them, and this one was relatively minor as |
| 20 |
far as filesystem bugs go. |
