Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Does readFile "/proc/mounts" hang for you?

Strace tells me that its doing some crazy IO control: """ ... open("/proc/mounts", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK) = 3 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0x7ffff7470b70) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) select(4, [3], [], NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) select(4, [3], [], NULL, {134, 217727} """ I'm too rusty on any sort of low level work to draw meaning out of this without work, but... See that failed ioctl that seems to be completely ignored, right before hanging in our 'select' call? And see the select call that says 'wait 134 seconds'? If you wait it out you get: select(4, [3], [], NULL, {134, 217727} ... so its a loop that I doubt you'll exit. Tom On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 2:43 PM, Krzysztof Skrzętnicki wrote:

I posted a bug about this (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2971) but its so odd I had to ask here. Using ghc 6.10.1, both readFile "/proc/mounts" and Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8.readFile "/proc/mounts" hang on an amd64 machine running Linux. Also, Data.ByteString.readFile "/proc/mounts" returns the empty string. Is this behavior present for others? On i386?

I can confirm this on Athlon64 X2 with GHC 6.10.1 running Linux 2.6.25. Same behavior here.

Greets, Ertugrul.
