Hello,
I discovered a bug in the nfs daemon delivered with the kernel update to kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13.
When accessing a large amount of files over an nfs export from a machine with SuSE 10.1 and kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13, stale NFS handles occur. After a short period (3-5s) the files are accessible again. "grep -R hello" * triggers the bug for example.
My configuration: SuSE 10.1 with kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13, NFS export of an XFS filesystem mounted on different clients with autofs (UDP and TCP).
Degrading back the kernel to 2.6.16.13-4 and all works fine again.
I opened a bug for this now, but you could have done yourself. I have cced Marco in the report. Ciao, Marcus
