2.4.5(-ac*] still broken NFS/Reiserfs
I've got two machines here running 2.4.5-ac6 with Chris Mason's posted 2.4.5 Reiserfs/knfsd patch, plus the small 2.4.5 NFS client patch posted last week as well. Even with all of this, I still have NFS weirdness.
Quoted 1 line
From the client, I can mount and read pretty much anything I like from the
server. I can create files in existing directories on the server. I can create new directories on the server. I _cannot_, however, create anything in a directory I created from the client (I get "file/directory does not exist" errors). I have also seen one case where the client's directory listing for a directory at the root of an export point did not match the server's listing until I unmounted and remounted the NFS mount.
Most of the time, this problem does not occur. It's very intermittent. I can boot up my client, and it will work fine for 24 hours, or it will fail in five minutes. Once it fails, an unmount/remount seems to cure it.
There is still major weirdness going on here, and I'm hesitant to try unfsd unless someone can say that it works reliably... I do need to find a solution to this though, and am willing to help in whatever way I can.
