Filesystem got corrupt after calling pthread_creat

Hi,

I am running some tests with the pthread stuff.

It seems that the (romfs) filesytem of my board (cyclon development board) got corrupt, after doing some pthread tests.

I guess that some datastructure in RAM got overwritten.

Did anyone get this rare behaviour before?

Any suggestion?

Regards,

Kwok Wong

P.S.

The filesystem is quite full (no so many flash space left).

    I have no idea about the pthread issue. But you can try zImage and initramfs, which can save the flash usage to around 50% .

    AND, you MUST work on Linux PC for the initramfs to work.

    I&#39;m working a lot with threads and my filesystem doesn&#39;t become corrupt.

    The problems disapper, after I have built the uClibc again and do not use the pre-built uLibc libraries from the Microtronix distribution.
