Oh, good question, I don't know. Thinking about it.... DESTROY_CLIENTID doesn't throw away all the client's state for it, it's only meant to be called after the client has already cleaned up everything else. So: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5661#section-18.50.3 If there are sessions (both idle and non-idle), opens, locks, delegations, layouts, and/or wants (Section 18.49) associated with the unexpired lease of the client ID, the server MUST return NFS4ERR_CLIENTID_BUSY. My feeling is that "ongoing copies" also belongs on that list. So the server behavior you're seeing sounds correct to me--the client should cancel any ongoing copies before calling DESTROY_CLIENTID. --b. -- 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
