So if I am adding files while reading the directory the directory
structure gets rewritten and I might return files more than once?
What happens if files are being deleted? Can files be skipped?!?
Any reason we have never seen this on ext2 on other filesystems on 10+
versions of UNIX? BitKeeper is pretty paranoid and includes a lot of
sanity checks.
Does this only happen when the subdirectory I am reading changes, or
on tmpfs will changing any directory cause this?
I am looking at coding a workaround, but I need to know how bad the
problem can be.
