Hi Neil, sorry for the sparse reply, I'm travelling right now, take a look at the NFS4ERR_NOMATCHING_LAYOUT error in NFSv4.2 and maybe try to do an internet search for forgetful clients - that's the way how the Linux pNFS client operates using the above error to signal it doesn't have any outstanding layouts when responding to a layoutrecall. -- 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
