[Please CC me if you have any suggestions.]
I'm a bit hazy on the details, but the synopsis is:
NFSv3 filesystems, same problem when mounted from either an IRIX 6.5.12m or Linux/i386 2.4.10 server.
2.4.7: all files are visible all of the time. 2.4.10: some files are invisible to some processes.
The processes that I have noticed to be affected are the likes of netscape, all gtk applications and find; perl globbing and its readdir function similarly miss files. OTOH, grep and ls function fine.
I'm not certain [read: no idea] what the connection is between the files that do disappear. It does not appear to be simply inode related, but those modified by the Linux client do seem more vulnerable.
Unfortunately, I only had time to switch back in an old kernel and confirm the issue before leaving work. The diff inside fs/nfs appeared small, but so do icebergs. ;) -- Chris Wilson {^_`} spam to bit.bucket@dev.null Carol says "289 == 2 * (25 * (1 + 5) - 4) - 3." - 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/
