Alcaide" Organization: Universidad del Pais Vasco - Dept. de Electricidad y Electronica X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.07 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 3.0-STABLE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG CC: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: easily reproducible NFS-related panic Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Sorry for the cross-posting, but I am running -STABLE and I would like to hear from -CURRENT users about this problem. The panic is easily reproducible: simply, try to hard-link a file from a local filesystem to a NFS-mounted one (yes, I _know_ that this is non-sense): mount remotesys:/exportedfs /mnt cd /mnt ln /bin/ls . --> this complaints about cross-device link, OK ln /bin/ls . --> (yes, again) panic: vrele: negative ref cnt --> CRASH!!! I have confirmed this with recent 3.0-STABLE and 3.1-BETA clients and servers, and also with a Solaris 2.5.1 NFS server. However, it does not happen on a 2.2.8-RELEASE client. Some feedback from the NFS gurus ;-) would be very useful. -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- José Mª Alcaide | mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es Universidad del País Vasco | mailto:jmas@es.FreeBSD.ORG Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-944858139 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Go ahead... make my day." - H.
