Hello all, We've seen some strange behaviour on our FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE system with regards to NFS. 'Sinkhole' is a ASUS P2L97-S/233 system (running FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE) with an Intel Pro-100 card which acts as a NFS server for the /prj for the rest of our network. One of it's clients is 'methane' our Sun 167MHz Ultra2 (running Solaris 2.5.1). What we where seeing is an rm -rf /prj/mumble/dir executed from methane would complete without all of the contents of the directory (or the directory itself) being removed. If you re-ran the rm -rf by hand, the rest of the directory would be removed. We've seen this when doing a build of gcc for MIPS (the makefiles create and remove a number of temporary directories during multilib generation), which would fail (because the directory wasn't removed as the makefile expected). It's also been reported by one of our users typing at the shell. We tried unmounting and remounting with NFS vers 2, same problem. When I changed the vfstab on methane to "vers=2,wsize=1024" the problem disappeared. I'm afraid that this didn't actually fix the problem, it just masked it. Any ideas what's going on here? I've searched through deja news for past messages that might be related to this problem with no luck. Thanks in advance, Mark _______________________________________________________________________________ Mark Mason Dragonfly Software Consulting Company. mason@dragonfly.rain.com 503-641-3440 (office) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
