[Pvfs2-developers] "/bin/ls: .: Invalid argument" and "/bin/ls: .: Stale NFS file handle" errors

[Juan Piernas Canovas]

Hi all,

(Please, accept my apologies if this has been discussed before.)

I have downloaded the latest version of PVFS2 from the CVS repository 
(today, at 2pm, Pacific Time). I have also set up a small file system (4 
I/O nodes, one of them is also the metadata server) and mounted the file 
system on /pvfs2. After copying a few files and directories, I get the 
following errors:

piernas at n23:~> ls /pvfs2
aminogen  asd  dscal  lost+found
piernas at n23:~> cd /pvfs2
piernas at n23:/pvfs2> ls
/bin/ls: .: Invalid argument              <---------------------------------
piernas at n23:/pvfs2> cd dscal
piernas at n23:/pvfs2/dscal> ls
/bin/ls: .: Stale NFS file handle        <----------------------------------
piernas at n23:/pvfs2/dscal> ls /pvfs2/dscal/
doubles.1M  perchunk.xml  rule.xml  src

Note that the errors arise when I use a relative path. If I use an 
absolute path for ls, everything works smoothly.

Ideas?

Thanks,

      Juan.
