Russell,

   I have not the NetApp or Isilon, so just used the nfs server created on
   an old x86 server that try to recreate the issue. But could not recreate
   it with 500 runs of packimage command.

   If possible could you try to do the following change when you could
   recreate the issue on NetApp or Isilon.
      Replace the '|cpio -H newc -o |' part with '|cpio -H newc -o
      --verbose 2>/tmp/cpiolog |' and to see what we could get in the
      '/tmp/cpiolog' when issue happens.

   And please let us know the result of the trying of squashfs or the
   trying of James's suggestion that using 'cpio -o' replace 'cpio -H newc
   -o'.

Thanks
Best Regards

      Russell,





      I've seen this years ago on some NetApp files. I've seen it more
      recently on Hitachi storage too.




Thanks! I'm looking into the possibility of just using squashfs as a work
around for this issue. What's even stranger is on a different CentOS 5/xCAT
2.6 cluster using NFS storage on a NetApp, I'm not seeing this problem. I
am on CentOS 6/xCAT 2.7 on Isilon.

NFS mount options appear to be identical between the two.

Wondering if the CPIO version may have something to do with it.
