Hi,
While debugging a rather strange WINE problem I came across a 2.4.x
NFS race condition.
I trimmed down the WINE code to a very small testcase, attached below,
which has following test patterns:
ext2 local : SUCCESS
2.4.5-ac6 -> 2.2.10 (unfsd) : FAIL
2.4.2-ac26 -> 2.4.2ac26 (knfsd) : FAIL
2.2.14 -> 2.4.2ac26 (knfsd) : SUCCESS
For me this looks like there is a problem in the 2.4 NFS client.
The sleep() appears to be a key part. If we only sleep 1 second the
test usually succeeds. With 5 it always fails.
I am using the default mount options for nfs.
Ciao, Marcus
