The "use case" is a bug. You can't violate the essential
granularity of
the support system and call it a bug. The granularity is: inode, size,
timestamp. Now, if we could just slow down AOLserver so that this
never
happens, that would be a great fix.
yes, that's exactly what I said - fastpath should be removed.
snark aside, if I say "ns_returnfile /tmp/foo-abcd" but nsd sends the
contents of the now-deleted /tmp/bar-wxyz to the client then it's not
doing what I've explicitly asked, and it's a bug.
just because the correct (imo) response is "tag WONTFIX, document as
a gotcha, document workaround" doesn't mean that the behaviour is
correct.
