Hi Trond, whit this changes (3ee69a14f92d74ced2647140b3799511ba4f3fa5) I see an infinite loop of LAYOUTGET->GETDEVICEINFO->LAYOUTRETURN without any attempt to connect to a DS. This is how the response to LAYOUTGET looks like. Network File System, Ops(2): SEQUENCE GETDEVINFO [Program Version: 4] [V4 Procedure: COMPOUND (1)] Status: NFS4_OK (0) Tag: <EMPTY> length: 0 contents: <EMPTY> Operations (count: 2) Opcode: SEQUENCE (53) Opcode: GETDEVINFO (47) Status: NFS4_OK (0) layout type: LAYOUT4_FLEX_FILES (4) r_netid: tcp length: 3 contents: tcp fill bytes: opaque data r_addr: 131.169.191.143.125.49 length: 22 contents: 131.169.191.143.125.49 fill bytes: opaque data version: 4 minorversion: 1 max_rsize: 1048576 max_wsize: 1048576 tightly coupled: Yes notify_mask: 0x00000006 (Change, Delete) notify_type: Change (1) notify_type: Delete (2) [Main Opcode: GETDEVINFO (47)] The MDS is mounted with IPv4. I can provide the full packet trace, if needed.
