Hi,
I guess I have encountered an nfs cacheing problem (kernel = 2.2.2, knfsd system). I have the following situation - pay attention to the "-L" in ls's args:
/auto/path/subdir1/subdir2> ls -alFL .arg lrwxrwxrwx 1 schattev gendev 10 Mar 4 16:30 .arg -> ../../.arg /auto/path/subdir1/subdir2> ls -alFL ../../.arg -rw-r--r-- 1 schattev gendev 16501 Mar 4 16:24 /auto/path/.arg
Interestingly this happens on an automounter directory. The machine which shows this artefact is the nfs-server of /auto/path, i.e. it is just a local file system to that host. There are ten other hosts (same OS) which really automount that path and which don't show this strange behaviour:
/auto/path/subdir1/subdir2> ls -alFL .arg -rw-r--r-- 1 schattev gendev 16501 Mar 4 16:24 /auto/path/subdir1/subdir2/.arg /auto/path/subdir1/subdir2> ls -alFL ../../.arg -rw-r--r-- 1 schattev gendev 16501 Mar 4 16:24 /auto/path/.arg
Any ideas? Is there anything I could try? Is this a known problem? Is there a patch available, which solves this problem?
Thanks,
Ruben
