Hi,
I just found some rather strange behaviour with an IRIX NFS
server[1] and a Linux client (2.2.13 and 2.2.14). I have a directory
(mail/Inbox/cur) where ls hangs like this:
open("mail/Inbox/cur", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=23552, ...}) = 0
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
brk(0x805b000) = 0x805b000
getdents(4, /* 78 entries */, 3391) = 3264
getdents(4, /* 1 entries */, 3391) = 44
getdents(4, /* 1 entries */, 3391) = 44
getdents(4, /* 1 entries */, 3391) = 44
[...]
and remains like that until killed. The names of the files on the
directory doesn't seem to matter as long as the lenghts of the
filenames correspond to those found on the attached file. There are
312 files on the directory. If I just create a new file whose name
lenght is between 1 and 9 characters, the problem dissapears. It
doesn't work if I just use te first 78 files. If I untar the attached
tarball on a local ext2 filesystem, there's no problem. The IRIX box
doesn't have a problem either nor does a Sun box.
Any pointers in order to provide more information would be
appreciated...
