How is the client supposed to handle opens of device special files? On a 3.1-rc1-based client to a linux server over v4.0 I'm seeing it try an OPEN call and failing when it gets an INVAL return. This looks like bogus client behavior (OPEN should fail on such files), unless the server has the error return wrong and the client's using an OPEN error to recover. If I first stat the device and then open it then it works as expected (the client does an open of the local device). I'm a bit annoyed at myself as I have a feeling we've discussed this before but I can't find a reference now. --b. -- 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
