Synopsis: nfsserver:/home/david mount, get dir. entries loops forever, 2.5.59 for client and server.
Example: ls -l /home/david
An strace will show the same directory entries flying by over and over until memory is exhausted or ^c comes along. It worked at first for about 30 minutes while I finished the new gentoo install on my desktop, but then things got weird. the nfs server spat out a big long callback trace (oops) and died hard. Had to reset the power. The looping started just minutes before that. I've rebooted, tried 2.5.53 on the client but no go.
Doing a stat on a single file works fine. Doing a glob, i.e. ls -l on the mount directory fails. Doing ls -l on any sub directory of the mount works fine.
ls -la /home/david/.xinitrc (file, works) ls -la /home/david/.e (directory, works) ls -la /home/david (loops forever on all directory entries until memory is exhausted and ls aborts)
Some things I've noted:
- not all directory entries are repeated, some only appear once and never again. - ls only does this on the mount point of the nfs mounted directory, all other directories are fine
GLIBC 2.3.1, underlying filesystems are reiserfs.
Client: nfsserver:/home/david on /home/david type nfs (rw,bg,hard,intr,timeo=7,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,addr=10.0.0.5)
Server (/var/lib/nfs/etab): /raid/home/david hb.blue-labs.org(rw,async,wdelay,hide,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2)
