Hi, a 'Text file busy' case caused by nfs server. nfs server: T7610, export /nfs back-end filesystem: btrfs, xfs nfs client1: T620, mount.nfs4 T7610:/nfs /nfs nfs client2: T630, mount.nfs4 T7610:/nfs /nfs linux kernel: 5.10.68, 5.15.0-rc3 nfs server/client use the same kernel version The steps to reproduce: 1, nfs client1 cp /usr/bin/ls /nfs/ls.a cat /usr/bin/ls >/nfs/ls.b; chmod a+x /nfs/ls.b /nfs/ls.a >/dev/null /nfs/ls.b >/dev/null It works well. 2, nfs client2 /nfs/ls.a >/dev/null /nfs/ls.b >/dev/null it works well. 3, nfs server /nfs/ls.a >/dev/null -bash: /nfs/ls.a: Text file busy 'Text file busy' happen /nfs/ls.b >/dev/null -bash: /nfs/ls.b: Text file busy 'Text file busy' happen systemctl stop nfs-server.service /nfs/ls.a >/dev/null /nfs/ls.b >/dev/null it works well. This 'Text file busy' happen when we exec/access the file through the back-end filesystem directly, not through the nfs client/server. so this is caused by some file handle(execute attr, and write mode?) hold by nfs server?
