I had the hunch that the problem I am dealing with related to the unlink
portion of NFS... So I have simplified the code down to this tiny snipet which
will reliably crash the system (I left it running by accident and it brought
my test machine down 3 times before I remembered to kill it :). This is only
3 lines of code, and a for loop to iterate it.
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd;
int counter;
char newfilename[1024];
strcpy(newfilename,argv[1]);
strcat(newfilename,".old");
for(counter=0;counter<1000000;counter++) {
fd=open(argv[1], O_CREAT, 600);
close(fd);
unlink(argv[1]);
}
return 0;
}
Again, this appears to need to be run from multiple machines at once to cause
the problem (running from 2 dual-ultra 2s running solaris 2.6 in this case).
I will attempt to reproduce it with FreeBSD clients later today. In the
meantime I am getting down and dirty with the NFS kernel routines.
PS: Please give Matt his privs back. You *really* don't want me sending
patches to the NFS code ;)
