[Pvfs2-developers] nfs reexport problem in trunk

[Phil Carns]

I think something has changed since 2.7.0 that causes some trouble for 
NFS reexporting.  If I NFS mount PVFS2 from the 2.7.0 release, things 
look fine as far as I can tell.  If I NFS mount PVFS2 from a current 
trunk build, I get this behavior:

pcarns-vm linux # cp /etc/hosts /mnt/tmp/foo
cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/tmp/foo': Stale NFS file handle

pcarns-vm linux # touch /mnt/tmp/testfile.txt
touch: setting times of `/mnt/tmp/testfile.txt': Stale NFS file handle

This shows up in dmesg:

/home/pcarns/working/pvfs2-build/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2-utils.c line 
467: Critical error: Invalid handle despite using iget4/iget5
/home/pcarns/working/pvfs2-build/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2-utils.c line 
467: Critical error: Invalid handle despite using iget4/iget5
/home/pcarns/working/pvfs2-build/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2-utils.c line 
467: Critical error: Invalid handle despite using iget4/iget5

I'll probably poke around at it a little bit, but I wanted to go ahead 
and record it on the mailing list and see if anyone has suggestions.
