--wRokNccIwvMzawGl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, when you try to do the following inside a nullfs mounted directory, where the nullfs origin is itself mounted with 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. As freeBSD is getting towards NFSv4 perhaps this would be a solution but i actually would'nt want to use these in production. Is there a fix or anything ?
