Re: [chown -R user_id:grpup_id] PROBLEM %CPU=99.7 %MEM=90.3

[Djuradj Uzelac]

My apologize
Thank you very very much for your answer and your time
for me.
I just recopiled a new coreutils 5.90 packet, but I
still have a problem.
Just repeat... evrything are working propertly ... and
just at once.I have a idetical packet of system when
is working propertly and now when not work.
I use strace comnand in two case
first case is when commnad working ok, and second case
is when chown command do not working
I attach two files - chown.ok and chown.do.not.work
Difference of execute 

------------------------------------------------------
execve("/bin/chown", ["chown", "-R", "djuradj:users",
"/home/djuradj/"], [/* 54 vars */]) = 0
------------------------------------------------------

and

------------------------------------------------------
execve("/bin/chown", ["chown", "-R", "500:100",
"/home/djuradj/"], [/* 54 vars */]) = 0
------------------------------------------------------

is when command try to open a passwd file.Line below 
is only in chown.do.not.work
------------------------------------------------------
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=15090, ...})
= 0
------------------------------------------------------

and chown comand after this try to open a group file
and in this time comand go to a loop and start ti take
a much resurce of cpu and memory


So, I attach two file where you will see orginal log
from strace comand.

Yet once
thank you very very much
Best regards
Dj.
