OK, I've been testing again and again, and I found a weeeeeeird bug. When I say weird, I mean really really of the black magic flavour.
So : still testing this NFS stuff, I tried with various configurations to sort it out, and it really a PVFS2 problem (tried different clients, and exporting non-pvfs2 FS from the same server, all OK). The NFS server exports the pvfs2 FS this way : /mnt/pvfs2 *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) On the client, I mount it and run this into the share : for i in `seq 1 50` ; do touch test.$i ; done ; echo "created $i" ; echo -n "listing " ; ls | wc -l So I create 50 files from test.1 to test.50 and so what? I tried again and again, and always the same : test.26 is missing in the ls output! Not any other file. When I create test.1 to test.65536, test.26 is still missing. BUT if you type "ls test.26", it shows up just OK. Yeah, that's weird. Then I do rm * ; ls and it tells me test.26 Uh.... If I create 2000 files but starting from 100 (test.100 to test.2100), when I do rm *; ls It gives test.125 Uh, the 26th file, again... This is a very strange modulo 26 bug indeed :) -- ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Florac | Intellique ---------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
