[snip] This has all the symptoms to an open EACCES NFSv4 bug in 2.6.18/19. This is fixed in: http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/kernel-patches/2.6.19-rc3-2/linux-2.6.19-rc3-CITI_NFS4_ALL-2.diff (see http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/). With this patch, I can run just great with NFSv4 home dir (etc) mounts; without, I get the symptom of many 0-byte temporary/lock files being created and often the inability to create files (!). Be sure to allow callback delegation connections in through your firewall for the extra performance ;-) . Maybe it's too late for these fixes 2.6.19, but they should certainly make 2.6.19.1 IMHO. -- Daniel J Blueman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
