As discussed in this threead, I remove fd anonymity in afr-selfèheald.c: http://review.gluster.org/8760 The resource cleanup code may be wrong, it needs review. At least the patch lets NetBSD pass self-held.t without getting locked into an infinite loop. For the NFS question, I suspect it is out of scope: seekdir() does not operate at kernel interface level, but at libc level; the data we see from readdir() are cached in userland, and adding a node will not invalidate them. I have to run tess to confirm, though. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus manu@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
