I haven't yet had a change to try and reproduce it or do any snooping around. There haven't been any recent changes to readdir in the NFS client, except a trivial one that adds a check for vnode type being VDIR, so I don't see that it can be a recent NFS change. If you can increase the readdirsize, try that to see if it avoids the problem. "nfsstat -m" shows you what the mount options end up being after doing the mount. The server might be limiting the readdirsize to 4K, so you should check, even if you specify a large value for the mount. rick > Regards, > harti > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
