If I manage to reproduce it with fuse I'll give you the debugging logs. If I don't manage to reproduce I still wouldn't be 100% sure it's a kernel client issue as I still don't know what detail of my use-case triggers the issue and I would fur sure have to do slight modification the setup a little (client side) to use fuse in the first place. I'll let you know asap. On the other hand, could all this be caused by me having one x86-kernel client and one amd64-kernel client mounting that cephfs at the same time? On both clients its the same linux-3.7.3 kernel from debian-experimental, just one i686, the other amd64. I believe I read something like that reported by some else, somewhere.
