Here's the problem:
{d_ino=9016561, d_off=473709853, d_reclen=44, d_name="9\46308814.179258_73.reggae:2,S"}
{d_ino=9032566, d_off=473709853, d_reclen=44, d\_name="946308812.179258_42.reggae:2,S"}
Note the 2 different and successive entries that have the same cookie
(d_off). That is why you're seeing looping.
Does IRIX and/or the Sun client see the same cookies for these 2
entries? Please check using NFSv2 (not NFSv3).
I suspect that the problem is a truncation error: IRIX uses 64-bit
cookies doesn't it? On NFSv2, you can only pass 32-bit cookies, hence
what is probably going on is that the hashing routine used by the
server is generating 2 identical cookies.
Just bad luck I guess...
Cheers,
Trond
