Ah, that explains it. Thanks!
I was assuming that I could export any "proper" unix file system over
NFS - and as far as I know, the rest of the VFS does not make any
assumptions (or reservations) about readdir offsets. Are there other
such constraints? I looked at the RFC, but it's rather hard to extract
that specific information...
Best,
Nikolaus
