I have found an anomaly when deleting directories on mounted NFS filesystems. The problem is that when you ask the contents of a deleted directory you just get "total 0" instead of something like "ls: .: Stale NFS file handle".
Repeat by:
ahost:~$ mkdir foo bhost:~$ cd foo linux:~$ cd foo ahost:~$ rmdir foo linux:~/foo$ ls -a bhost:~/foo$ ls ls: .: Stale NFS file handle linux:~/foo$ touch bar touch: foo: Stale NFS file handle linux:~/foo$ ls -la total 0 linux:~/foo$ cd .. linux:~$ uname -a Linux hobbes 1.3.72 #5 Fri Mar 8 17:46:01 MET 1996 i586
ahost: any machine (Linux, SunOS, IRIX) bhost: a computer running either SunOS or IRIX.
The kernel shows this behaviour at least since version 1.3.69.
