At the time I've started this thread http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/40863 I had the feeling that the readdir cache changings in 2.6.37 have something to do with these loop problems. After that thread I've accepted that's a general problem with ext4/dirindex and nfs but seeing it again on xfs with just 5000 files I'm in doubt again. 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
