Btw, thinking about this a bit more the simplest thing possible would be a mount option to delay reclaiming unlinked inodes for N seconds, set to the NFS gracce periods plus a reasonable slack for starting NFSD after mounting the fs. This would be fairly easily to implement in the fs, does not require tight coupling between the fs and NFSD, and will eventually reclaim the unlinked inodes even if the file system happens to not be exported at all. I could implement this quickly if you want to play around with the NFSD side. -- 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
