Description Felix Miro 2002-08-06 20:52:44 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; T312461)

Description of problem:
ls -l against nfs mounted cdrom image (/mnt/foo/testdir) eventually fails 
with 'ls: .: No such file or directory'. A cd /mnt/foo/testdir is required to 
re-establish the current directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.on anyhost:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop image.iso9660 /mnt/cdrom.image
image.iso9660 is ~264 MB.

2.on client:
mount -t nfs anyhost:/mnt/cdrom.image /mnt/foo
/mnt/foo/testdir has ~50 RPM files.

3.test script:

!/bin/bash
cd /mnt/foo/testdir
while [ 1 ]
do
  ls -l
done



	

Actual Results:  after 8 minutes, the test case returns the below output:

ls: .: No such file or directory
ls: .: No such file or directory
ls: .: No such file or directory
ls: .: No such file or directory
.
.
.


Expected Results:  Normal ls -l output showing 50 RPM files

This problem also occurs on version 8.0. The only difference being that with 
8.0 the failure occurs in less than two minutes.

Comment 2 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:49 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
