The reason I can't find a test is because this code only gets run if the inode being tested has the same handle as the inode in the dcache. Of course this happens all the time (it wasn't changed). We would return that it was not valid even though it was, which didn't affect correctness but caused OrangeFS to perform extra round-trips with the server. We would return that it was valid even though it wasn't when an inode is deleted and re-created on the server as a different type or different symlink target AND has the same handle as the one in the cache. This practically never happens. Martin
