I've just noticed that nfsd tries to silly-delete symlinks.

Server: vanilla 2.2.20 SMP
Client: vanilla 2.4.18 SMP
Mount options: rw,nodev,v2,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,lock

Sometimes I see some .nfs<XXXX> files which are symlinks. How can symlinks be "in use" and be subject to silly-deletion?

Phil.

Sillydelete just looks at the number of counts on the dentry. If the count is > 1 then the dentry is deemed to be 'in use' no matter what the type of inode.

Cheers,
