Subject: ls hangs on NFS share from Apple Xserve
Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 10:42:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <412EBAA100062E28@mssbzhh-int.msg.bluewin.ch> (raw)
Hi,
A couple of months ago I reported a bug that occurs with Linux NFS client
and Mac OS X NFS server. Here's the bug report:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=964204&group_id=14&atid=100014
And here are other docs related to this problem:

http://algesten.blogspot.com/2004/07/mac-os-x-server-nfs-unique-cookie-bug.html
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=353
Martin Algesten reported that this might be caused by non-unique NFS cookies
in the same READDIRPLUS reply from the Apple NFS server but in our environment
with MacOS X 10.3.5 and SuSE Linux 9.0 (Kernel 2.4.21-243-smp4G, glibc-2.3.2-88)
I cannot confirm this. The NFS cookies are unique in the same READDIRPLUS
reply but not unique during the same NFS session.
We don't have problems accessing the MacOS X 10.3.5 NFS server from our Solaris
clients and also don't have problems with Solaris, Linux and NetApp NFS servers
from Linux clients.
I assume this is a bug with the Linux Kernel NFS implementation or the glibc
library which provides the getdents64 call that loops. Apple says it's a
Linux bug.
According to SuSE the patch linux-2.4.21-15-seekdir.dif from http://client.linux-nfs.org/Linux-2.4.x/2.4.21/
is already included in their kernel.
Could someone who is familiar with NFS and the Linux NFS or glibc code analyze
and solve this problem? I can provide network traffic and strace logs if
you don't have the equipment to reproduce this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bernd
