Re: [PATCH RFC 1/1] nfsd: Initial implementation of NFSv4 Courteous Server

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



By the way, have we thought about the -ENOSPC case?

An expired client could prevent a lot of disk space from being freed if
it happens to be holding the last reference to a large file.

I'm not sure how to deal with this.  I don't think there's an efficient
way to determine which expired client is responsible for an ENOSPC.  So,
maybe you'd check for ENOSPC and when you see it, remove all expired
clients and retry if there were any?
