Hi,
I hope this is not the wrong list to ask. Didn't get any answers on
-questions.

When you try to do the following inside a nullfs mounted directory,
where the nullfs origin is itself mounted via nfs you get an error:

# foo=20
# tail -f foo&=20
# rm -f foo=20
tail: foo: Stale NFS file handle
# fg

This is really a problem when running services inside jails and using
NFS as storage. As of [2] it looks like this problem is known for a
while. On a normal NFS mount this does not happen as "silly renaming"
[1] works there (producing nasty little .nfsXXXX files).

TIA,
Leon
