I thought this list was for SECURITY issues, which is why I subscribed to
it. Aren't there any other lists for discussing normal system bugs that
this sort of traffic should go to?
I find a lot of unnecessary chatter on non-security issues. I really hate
to censor anything, but on these lists that aren't moderated (presuming
that it's not monitored) sometimes discussions get carried away.
Just thought I would raise the point.

[suse-security] Bug in nfsd from kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13
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.
Regards, Marco
