Do you know what is happening?
I fixed it lol in the end sorry. My system was using mostly getdents so adding that fixed it.
Yeah, different distros/kernels seem to prefer getdents over getdents64, or vice versa. That's why the example techniques in the repo hook both. Glad you're enjoying the articles though!
