Hello list, recently I updated my client to a new vendor kernel(SLES11), but the problem is the same if I use a 2.6.33.3 as a client. If I'm doing svn checkouts in an endless loop, or running make -j X builds sometimes it happens that I get a "Permision denied" error. If I strace it, for svn, the following sequence appears: 5262 rename("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/tmp/entries", "Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/entries") = 0 5262 lstat("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/entries", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0666, st_size=205, ...}) = 0 5262 chmod("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/entries", 0444) = 0 5262 open("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/format.tmp", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0666) = 3 5262 write(3, "9\n", 2) = 2 5262 close(3) = 0 5262 rename("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/format.tmp", "Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/format") = 0 5262 lstat("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/format", 0x7fff79949350) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Here 5262 write(2, "svn: Can't change perms of file "..., 83) = 83 5262 lstat("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/log", 0x7fff79949650) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 5262 unlink("Kernel.ERWQPsWCA5/.svn/lock") = 0 After a rename, the lstat call fails. I tried to isolate it, but without any luck so far. I dont have the problem if I go back to my vendor kernel <= 2.6.22. I wonder if its more a NFS Server problem or a problem on the client side so I tried writing a C programm to trigger this behaviour. But without any success so far. Maybe this problem is already known? regards, Martin -- 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
