NFS mount from Network Appliance Netapp
ftp-netapp1:/ftp on /public/pub (nfs, nodev, nosuid)
>Description:
We have an FTP server, mounting publically-available filesystem from a
NetApp. The chroot() point is to local disk, with NFS mounted on /pub
within that environment. With an open FTP connection, the (customised)
server experiences a realpath() failure (EACCESS) if the cwd of the
connection is modified (file added or deleted) via normal login. This
resolves itself either with the passing of time, or by causing a stat of
the directory which isn't stat(".") (CDUP, CD back; or "ls /the/cwd").
The call to realpath() fails in getcwd() (found via gdb).
Using ktrace, we see:
6506 ftpd CALL __getcwd(0xbfbff2ec,0x400)
6506 ftpd RET __getcwd -1 errno 20 Not a directory
This is a directory; it has just been modified recently.
ktrace's of an FTP LIST command when it works and when it fails because
the dir has been modified available upon request. A "diff -u" is
informative.
>How-To-Repeat:
Via Description above. ktraces, diffs, available upon request. Access
to server code can be arranged if desired, but the above shows it to not
be a problem with our code.
