I've been finding various NFS problems ever since upgrading to the 2.1.x
series of kernels (I need the speed increase):
from 2.1.115:
nfs_lookup: toolif/csd_toolif_network.c failed, error=-6
NFS: server boaz, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=154, slots=4, len=12
NFS: server ham, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=155, slots=5, len=12
NFS: server boaz, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=154, slots=4, len=12
NFS: server meshach, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=155, slots=4, len=8
boaz, ham, and meshach are all HP/UX machines (9.05 or 9.07). I noticed a
section in the 116pre1 patch talking about readdir on HP/UX machines, but I
haven't been able to test it (forced to go back to 2.0.35 on that machine so
it can be used reliably).
We've also (biggest problem) been noticing that there are either missing or
added characters (nulls) in a lot of files (to various platforms (HP/UX,
Solaris, etc, etc.)) (see attachment -- it's a diff snippet which shows the
missing and additional characters. it's always in the pattern "add 2 nulls,
remove 2 chars", and the offsets where the problems were (in another diff) was
0x1bfe7, 0x24fe7, 0x27fe7, 0x2cfe7 -- notice that the last 3 hex digits are
the same in every case.)
We've noticed this problem with all kernels from 2.1.108 through 2.1.116pre1.
