Yup, my patch "repaired" the test directory and let another one fail. Currently Ive reverted commit d1bacf9e, NFS: add readdir cache array (and a lot followups) to let clients work again. > When running with the stock 2.6.39 > client, do you see the "directory contains a readdir loop." message > in your syslog? Yes, didn't noticed that because I've booted 2.6.39 only a few times. There are a lot like this: May 25 13:26:09 kubera-114 kernel: [ 1105.419604] NFS: directory gen/radar contains a readdir loop. Please contact your server vendor. Offending cookie: 947700512 I hope it's not my server vendor's fault :) Or does this mean the NFS server is bad rather than the client? cu, Rudi -- 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
