> Confirmed the fix; I'll apply. Actually that changed NFS4ERR_INVAL's to NFS4ERR_SYMLINK's all over the place, which I'd rather not do; the following just affects the OPEN. --b. commit 618459ca1f7613f0dde4f09138e9acbe02690264 Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 15 16:55:02 2011 -0400 nfsd4: return nfserr_symlink on v4 OPEN of non-regular file Without this, an attempt to open a device special file without first stat'ing it will fail.
