Here are the traces done at my lab. I recall the test between hosts A and B (see the prompt):
A% echo foo > file1 A% cp file1 file2 B% cat file2 A% time mv file1 file2 Test 1: A = Debian 8 - debian-8_20.pcap (15s delay between the 2 RENAME) B = Debian 7 - debian-7_20.pcap Test 2: A = Debian 7 - debian-7_22.pcap (~ 0.1s delay between the 2 RENAME) B = Debian 8 - debian-8_22.pcap In both cases, there is a NFS4ERR_DELAY and the RENAME is retried, but on Debian 8, it is retried only after 15 seconds. Note: If the test is done in a directory that has just been created, there is never any delay. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
