This will opccur on two occasions: 1) The file has been deleted, but the vnode was not removed from the cache, so you get a cache hit on open, and the file is still displayable after it has (nominally) been deleted. This points to an error in the name cache code. 2) The open call is OK, but the readdir is broken; the open will succeed, because it does it's own (linear) traversal, but the readdir fails because it does a cookie-based per block traversal. This points to an error in the cookie code. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
