Switching to a different fs could prove problematic, but I could always ask the sysadmin to move my home dir to my client machine, there should be enough space so that would rule out any synchronization problems. The main thing here is that I'd like to understand why this is happening? What does it mean when ls returns something like: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? cur Why is this triggered by an app like kmail? Why does the problem disappear when I cd into the oddly behaving directory, but not when kmail checks its availability? Why doesn't this always work? Things like that. -- Alex Borghgraef -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
