On one of our clusters, from time to time if users try to access files or
folders via the direct full path over NFS, the NFS-client gets invalid
information from the server.

For instance, if I run "ls /gpfs/filesystem/test/test2/test3" over
NFS-mount, result is just full of ????????

If I recurse through the path once, for instance by ls'ing or cd'ing through
the folders one at a time or running ls -R, I can then access directly via
the full path afterwards.

This seem to be intermittent, and I haven't found how to reliably recreate
the issue.

Possibly, it can be connected to creating or changing files or folders via a
GPFS mount, and then accessing them through NFS, but it doesn't happen
consistently.

 

Is this a known behaviour or bug, and does anyone know how to fix the issue?

These NSD-servers currently run Scale 4.2.2.3, while the CES is on 5.0.1.1.

GPFS clients run Scale 5.0.1.1, and NFS clients run CentOS 7.5.
