Description Gleb Kurtsou freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2010-10-21 18:20:11 UTC 
At least UFS and EXT2 use "empty" directory entries, i.e. dirent with zero d_fileno, as a placeholder for removed entries.

Such entries are skipped by libc and elsewhere in the kernel.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
