I've seen this during migration recovery testing. The client may be testing the wrong client ID. But I wonder if it's really worth doing that separate RENEW. I've seen the client send a RENEW after it gets STALE_STATEID. Would RENEW really tell the client anything in that case? -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com -- 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
