Description of problem: When using nfsv4 mount, users get error : Unknown error 523 when doing ls in mounted dir Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel Linux 2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 25 02:16:15 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: RHEL 4.5 with latest updates using nfsv4 Actual results: ls ls: reading directory .: Unknown error 523 Expected results: Directory listing Additional info: I believe this was fixed already but maybe it hasnt made it into your updates yet. Look at http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2005-August/002379.html
Changing tagline to something more descriptive... Patch in description looks sane -- have you actually tested it? Can you give a bit more detail on how to reproduce this? When I do a ls in nfsv4 directory it works fine for me...
We have a couple of nfs servers. One of them I'm trying to change from NFSV3 to NFSV4. I made the exports to look like /data/sptemps *(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) /data/sptemps/sptemp2 *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,nohide) automount options are -fstype=nfs4,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=600,retrans=6 for some reason we get the error stated above after the mount and we do a "ls". We have a RHEL 5 nfs server setup like this RHEL 4.5 one but it doesnt have these issues when using the same options and same clients. Let me know if you need more info. I havent tried the patch I pointed to earlier.
I've posted some test kernels with this patch on my people page: http://people.redhat.com/jlayton ..could you test them and confirm that the problem is resolved?
