While fopen works fine with regular files and directory inside an OCFS2 filesystem, gives "failed to open stream: No such file or directory" for CDSL files. Reproduce code: --------------- make a OCFS2 filesystem (you can setup it even with 1 node). Create a regular file (touch test) Transform it in a cdsl file (ocfs2cdsl -t hostname -c test) fopen("test","w"); => Warning: fopen(test) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42594&edit=1
