I tried this hack: diff --git a/fs/dcache.c b/fs/dcache.c index 8086636..649a112 100644 --- a/fs/dcache.c +++ b/fs/dcache.c @@ -2404,6 +2404,10 @@ out_unalias: if (likely(!d_mountpoint(alias))) { __d_move(alias, dentry); ret = alias; + } else { + printk(KERN_WARNING "VFS: __d_move()ing a d_mountpoint(), uh oh\n"); + __d_move(alias, dentry); + ret = alias; } out_err: spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); With this applied, "ls -l flick" prints: [ 77.217420] VFS: __d_move()ing a d_mountpoint(), uh oh [ 77.222390] VFS: __d_move()ing a d_mountpoint(), uh oh ...and "pics" and "raid" then work as they did before, or with "nordirplus" set. So, is something broken with nordirplus or the NFS layer, or should __d_unalias() really move a mountpoint? With nordirplus, it works without complaining about moving a mountpoint.
