I'm having repeatable NFS wierdness when mounting recent Linux servers
from an SGI box running IRIX 5.3. Everything seems fine, but long
'configure' scripts will eventually fail with spurious reports that
'conftest.out' and/or 'conftest.in' cannot be opened, written, read, etc.
Sometimes, a number of tests in a row will fail in this fashion, only to
have the run pick up and recover for a while. One application, amd-utils,
has the most intricate configure I've ever seen and literally cannot
complete successfully due to the above errors! When everything concerned
is moved to local storage, it runs fine.
The script writes, compiles, deletes and rewrites the same files many
times and at some point is (apparently) getting very confused as to the
underlying collection of bytes <g>. At least, I'm assuming it's the
client that's causing this as I've not seen it with any of the other boxen
here.
At any rate, I can trigger the symptoms at will if there's anything you'd
like to instrument or log.
