Also, I *can* reproduce it using the same NFS server and a FreeBSD 14.2 client. At least with this pair of machines, the behavior seems deterministic: "createdb foo" followed by "dropdb foo" leaves the same set of not-dropped files behind each time. I added a bit of debug logging to rmtree.c and verified that it's not seeing anything odd happening, except that readdir never returns anything about the missed files. I will file a bug report, unless you already did? regards, tom lane
