Subject: unlink within an open directory stream
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:34:46 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1886390911.6.1332606886333.JavaMail.root@thunderbeast.private.linuxbox.com> (raw)

Hi,

Folks testing linux nfs + Ganesha with bonnie++ have noticed the issue described here (but I didn't see traffic on this list):

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5496
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789452

Ie, an application which unlinks on an open (nfs) directory stream, and continues to read and unlink progressively, will generally not see all the entries originally in the stream.  Reopening the stream ives the "correct" result.  So, apparently older clients were more forgiving, as mentioned in the links.  Is the current behavior one the client is intending?

Thanks,

Matt
