 At the time=2C I thought it the filesystem was ext2 and was not expecting
 those errors.
 I was doing directory listings across the filesystem=2C and the
 log was showing the g_vfs_done errors.
 I tracked the log entries to traversals of the symlinks=2C and then posted.
 
 I hadn't done much individual file accesses at the time.

 Nothing special on the files (that I know of).  They don't have any acls or=
 =20
 extended attributes.   Errors occur on mnay different
 types of files=2C READMEs=2C jpgs=2C mp3s=2C txts=2C gifs.
 Sometimes in a single directory=2C the first couple of files
 will read just fine=2C and the rest will give errors.
