Hi, I tried running unify to replace my current NFS setup for my home directory but through unify I only saw 333 files on my home, compared to a couple more than a 1000 using NFS. After much digging I think i know the problem. In my home directory there is a link that points to a non-existing file (dangling symlink). In the posix_setdents the correct symlink is created but then the chmod right after it fails and setdents exists without creating any of the others entries on the namespace. The chmod fails because it tries to chmod the file pointed by the symlink, which does not exist (it fails with errno=2). I did some more tests and this can occur even if the symlink points somewhere as long as the symlink is created before the destination point. Attached is a patch proposal that seemed to work in my system. The patch is against 2.0.0rc1. Filipe
