MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I've got two machines here running 2.4.5-ac6 with Chris Mason's posted 2.4.5 Reiserfs/knfsd patch, plus the small 2.4.5 NFS client patch posted last week as well. Even with all of this, I still have NFS weirdness. >>From the client, I can mount and read pretty much anything I like from the server. I can create files in existing directories on the server. I can create new directories on the server. I _cannot_, however, create anything in a directory I created from the client (I get "file/directory does not exist" errors). I have also seen one case where the client's directory listing for a directory at the root of an export point did not match the server's listing until I unmounted and remounted the NFS mount. Most of the time, this problem does not occur. It's very intermittent. I can boot up my client, and it will work fine for 24 hours, or it will fail in five minutes. Once it fails, an unmount/remount seems to cure it. There is still major weirdness going on here, and I'm hesitant to try unfsd unless someone can say that it works reliably... I do need to find a solution to this though, and am willing to help in whatever way I can.
