What Neil Brown refers to as a "general file access protocol" - basically making a flash disk available to a small embedded network for random-access file I/O.
The flash disk is required to interoperate with Windoze, which forces us into VFAT-backed NFS.

We use lookupcache=none, which I thought had stabilized things. Based on what Namjae has found with ESTALE on rename/drop_caches I guess there is a hole. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven J.
