Sometimes we have also probs like the other current thread "Writing / Locking problem with NFSv4". Moreover I've got issues with wrong file permissions of newly created files. Mostly when using make: The first make failes and you see some objects files with strange permissions. If you watch these files on other clients then they are ok. Then the second make finishes successful.

I should do that but somehow I'm a bit tyred of debugging my NFS issues after doing it the whole last year just to get one thing fixed and run into another issue. Maybe I first try a current kernel, hoping that things are getting better without doing anything. 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
