I have tested the patch on top of linux-2.6 2.6.32-37 on a production server and we no longer experience the NFS uid/gid issue. The issue can easily be tested by doing ls -l $file on a NFS mount. The values will show up correctly. After cat $file /dev/null; ls -l $file it will suddenly show wrong uid/gid values of: 4294967294/4294967294 (-2/-2) Waiting for about 20 seconds ls -l $file will show again correct values. So the client cached values are clearly the problem. I strongly recommend to include the patch into the next stable point release as this is major NFS regression from Debian Lenny. I'll update to vs2.6.32.48-vs2.3.0.36.29.8 which includes the above and one other NFS fix http://vserver.13thfloor.at/ExperimentalT/delta-nfs-fix01.diff. Herbert, if you could briefly explain what the two changes are doing that would be helpful. well, the first one fixes a long outstanding bug, which was caused by using the wrong macros INOTAG_* instead of TAGINO_*, which, depending on the tagging and actual uid/gid/tag will result in funny numbers ... the second one doesn't fix any real issue, but it is a more defensive solution for the potentially possible case where NFS_ATTR_FATTR_OWNER is set but the group nfs attribute is not (or the other way round) HTH, Herbert Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Computers are not intelligent.They only think they are. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

taskstats capability check in stable
This change is likely to be included in 2.6.32.y and, by default, in our
next stable point release. As Linus says, this means that unprivileged
accounts won't be able to run iotop, but this is probably correct
behaviour.
It appears that older versions of iotop do not report this error in a
helpful way (#644616). So I think that if we apply this change to the
kernel then iotop should also be updated in stable.
Ben.

commit 1a51410abe7d0ee4b1d112780f46df87d3621043 upstream.
Ok, this isn't optimal, since it means that 'iotop' needs admin
capabilities, and we may have to work on this some more. But at the
same time it is very much not acceptable to let anybody just read
anybody elses IO statistics quite at this level.
Use of the GENL_ADMIN_PERM suggested by Johannes Berg as an alternative
to checking the capabilities by hand.

Bug#652015: pu: package iotop/0.4-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-kernel@lists.debian.org
iotop bug #644616 needs to be fixed in stable because the elevant change
in Linux has been added to the 2.6.32 longterm tree, which the Debian
Linux kernel team intends[1] to add to the next Debian stable point
release. The change in Linux addresses a security issue (CVE-2011-2494)
by removing access to the taskstats interface for non-root users.
Unfortunately iotop relies on this file and therefore it can only run as
root. With the debdiff below iotop will output a friendly message
instead of crashing with a Python traceback.
