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

[Sam Lang]

Hi Juan,

I think you may have gotten a version of the code I committed  
yesterday that caused this behavior.  I've since committed fixes, but  
just to be sure -- and so that you don't have to retry everything,  
what version of dcache.c is listed in src/kernel/linux-2.6/CVS/Entries?
