Hi Sam, Sorry about the delay. You replied, > It is indeed NFS, fairly big (2.3T), I think NAS, linux (striped down), > xfs filesystem. in http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=7858#11 but I never received that message. I saw it just now, only while going through old pending bug reports via http://debbugs.gnu.org/coreutils. Can you retest using the latest release, coreutils-8.13? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-09/msg00130.html
