Hi all On NFSv3, NFSv4 and xfs, opening non-existent file returns different value when O_CREAT|O_DIRECTORY is used, Is this the right behavior? TEST LOG: # cat open_tets.py #!/bin/python import posix fd = posix.open("/mnt/XXXX/file",posix.O_CREAT|posix.O_DIRECTORY, 0777) print fd posix.close(fd) *xfs* # ./open_test.py 3 -- Create a file and return fd. # ./open_test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./open_test.py", line 3, in <module> fd = posix.open("/mnt/xfs/file",posix.O_CREAT|posix.O_DIRECTORY, 0777) OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/mnt/xfs/file' *NFSv3* # ./open_test.py 3 -- Create a file and return fd. # ./open_test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./open_test.py", line 3, in <module> fd = posix.open("/mnt/nfsv3/file",posix.O_CREAT|posix.O_DIRECTORY, 0777) OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/mnt/nfsv3/file' *NFSv4.x* # ./open_test.py Traceback (most recent call last): -- return ENOENT err directly.
