Hello Misc,

I have run into an odd problem.  Machine A is running a model that writes
files periodically to a file system NFS mounted from machine B.  Machine B
backs up this file system periodically to machine C via rsync.  If this
backup runs while machine A is writing a file, the model on A crashes.  The
model is written in Go.

I recently updated the disk containing this file system on machine B to an
8 TB disk from a 2 TB disk.  The problem didn't occur with the 2 TB disk.
I believe that this disk used FFS-1 while the new disk uses FFS-2.

Any ideas on this?  I haven't tried digging into the Go write code yet.

Here is the fstab entry on machine B:
6a99351289f050d4.a /data.gy ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2

Here is the rsync command updating from B to C:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avxl --delete /data.gy/ gryphon:/data.gy

Here is the fstab entry on machine A:
loro:/data.gy /data.gy nfs rw,nodev,nosuid,noatime 0 0

Here is the entry in the exports file on machine B (the problem occurs for
A equal to all of gy01 to gy08):
/data.gy me merlin gy01 gy02 gy03 gy04 gy05 gy06 gy07 gy08

Are there any other diagnostics that would be useful?
