2.2.1 hang on AXP using FS modules

[Tom Holroyd <tomh nibh go jp>]

The following script locks my machine up hard after a few iterations.

VFAT is configured as a module.  I have had similar lockups with MSDOS and
SMBFS.  I have not been able to reproduce such lockups when they were not
modules.

Stick a floppy in the floppy drive and mformat a:

Then run this (I've also done this with an MSDOS HD partition; I don't
recommend that though 'cause if it locks up it'll hose the partition):

--- 8< ---
#! /bin/sh

mkdir -p /tmp/mnt
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /tmp/mnt
while true; do
	cp -av /usr/src/linux/arch/ppc /tmp/mnt/ppc
	ls -lR /tmp/mnt
	rm -rf /tmp/mnt/ppc
done
--- 8< ---

I'm curious if others can reproduce this.  Try it with an SMBFS mounted
share, too.
