Description Ming Chen 2014-09-04 13:45:51 UTC 
Created attachment 934439 [details]
proxy config file as an example

Description of problem:

When creating files via Ganesha proxy, the proxy will loop forever.

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

2.1

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure and start the nfs-ganesha proxy
2. run "mount /proxy/home/ /mnt" on the client
3. run "echo 'hello' > /mnt/hello.txt" on the client

Actual results:

No file is created, and the proxy loop forever.

Expected results:

hello.txt be created.

Additional info:

To configure proxy, you can take the attached config file as an example.

The cause of this bug is that PROXY/FSAL does not implement the status() FSAL API.

Comment 1 Ming Chen 2014-09-04 13:57:23 UTC 
Another problem that can be reproduced in the same way is "NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID".

The patch (based on 2.1) to fix this "NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID" is at https://github.com/sbu-fsl/nfs-ganesha/commit/b3f5506de493e00f1811212b20cd6fc0090c0452
Comment 2 Jim Lieb 2014-11-19 20:04:32 UTC 
both of these fixes are in V2.2-dev-9.
