As was pointed out earlier, the NFS system in -2.2 is still subject
to kernel panics when someone:
mkdir tmp ; mkdir tmp/tmp
cd tmp
mv tmp ..
This panic is caused by the line in nfs_vnops.c:
#ifndef DIAGNOSTIC
if (vp->v_type == VDIR)
panic("nfs: sillyrename dir");
#endif
I'm not very familiar with the FS code in FreeBSD. Is there
an easy fix for this (e.g. just skipping the panic code), or does it
require a more substantial change? (Or is someone already working
on this that I missed?)
