Here's another question to those who can reproduce the problem. What I need is an strace from one netapp and and one nwfs filesystem when trying to create a file with trailing dots and spaces: for the following scenarios: $ strace -o lame_fs.trace touch 'foo.' 'foo ' This will help to create a workaround for those filesystems. I only need straces for the *not* working cases.
