I wonder if this is related to the lack of caching that I'm seeing (not
that I'm the only one) -- when the mtime of the directory a file is in
changes, the cache of the file is dropped even if the file itself hasn't
been touched on the server.
Ow gawd: I just managed to get a stale NFS file handle message
(2.1.90pre2). To reproduce, do the following (server is Universal NFS
Server 2.2beta16 on a 2.0 box):
mkdir test
mkdir test/2
cd test
( cd 2 && dd if=/dev/urandom of=foo bs=128 ) &
ln 2/foo zork
ls -al
This results in 'dd: foo: Stale NFS file handle'. Sounds like something
is pretty broken to me.
