Filemgr crash segfault

[tweetyhack]

Hi, while browsing ntfs partition, Filemgr closes(crashes).  I tried it twice.  Dmesg shows: fluff[776]: segfault at 53474e49 sp bfc2c150 error 4.

Running tc 3.3 booting off usb flash drive. ntfs-3g ver 2010.5.22.

Crashes when opening /mnt/sda1/Documents and Settings/user/My Documents/Limewire/Saved.  This harddrive was infected with malware which has been cleaned off. Able to ls the folder fine.

Intuitively that sounds like an overflow somewhere. Can you please say (a) how many files are in that folder, and (b) how big is the biggest one?

Thanks for the crash report.   

I have not tested Fluff with NTFS partitions before, so I don't know if that is contributing to the problem or the fact that your path includes spaces, or something else is causing it.   
I will try to look into this and see if I can reproduce it.

@tweetyhack: I tried to reproduce your crash, but so far I have not been able to see it.  I tried to re-create your path under /tmp instead of /mnt, (/tmp/sda1/Documents and Settings/user/My Documents/Limewire/Saved) and put some files there and could browse them and launch associated files. 

Then I installed the ntfs-3g.tcz and mounted a XP partition (harddisk, not USB drive).  I am able to browse the partition with no crashes and launch associated applications (music player, picture viewer) for the files on the NTFS partition.

I also tried to directly open to the mounted partition:
   tc@box~$ fluff "/mnt/hdc2/Documents and Settings/mike/My Documents/My Music"
This worked OK for me too.

  Maybe there is something different about running TC from a USB drive?  Or your NTFS partition is corrupt in a way you can't easily see, except Fluff does not handle it OK?  I don't know what else to try to do to isolate the problem and see if there is a reasonable fix.

@tweetyhack:One potentially important note: I installed the current version of ntfs-3g.tcz, noted as "2010/11/27 Bumped to 2010.10.2" but listed as version "2010.10.10.2".  This seems to be a few versions newer than yours.  Perhaps you can upgrade ntfs-3g.tcz and try again?

Another update. I found a bug that could be the same as this one... If you mount a filesystem and the file ower or file user group are not defined in the host system, then Fluff can crash trying to look up a user name or group name that does not exist natively.  The fix is to print the generic ID number "100" instead of a textual name.  I'm not sure this happened in your crashes, but if so, it has been fixed in the versions of Fluff now found in the TC 3.4-rc series.

haha, I guess I should check my own posts. I haven't played with tinycore for a bit. Completely forgot what I was doing to get the crash. Got a new crash to report though, this time for FAT32; starting a new thread for it though.
