Bruce hi This is the patch I'm currently using to be able to run. It is your patch but the cl_firststate = 1 is promoted to before any failures. Please Also consider adding and promoting some of these prints to DMESGs so Admins can know they have a broken setup. Like directories do not exist or permission not properly set. Though I admit the messages should be properly worded. Thanks Boaz --- From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:18:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd4: This is: "fix failure to end nfsd4 grace period" ++ J. Bruce Fields: Even if we fail to write a recovery record to stable storage, we should still mark the client as having acquired its first state. Otherwise we leave 4.1 clients with indefinite ERR_GRACE returns. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Boaz Harrosh: I don't think this fix is enough what about the failure of nfs4_save_creds It can only fail with -ENOMEM do you hang the client in this case? I think Some of these prints should be delegated to a KERN_ERR since it is a possible setup problem.
