Hello,
Running bonnie++ on a NFS mounted files system doesn't work. Bonnie exits
with a fatal error caused by an attempt to remove a non-empty directory.
Bonnie tries to remove all files in a directory by calling 'readdir' an
'unlink' in a loop. This works fine on a local filesystem (UFS) but not on a
NFS mounted filesystem (also UFS on the server).
I'm running FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE on both the nfs-server and nfs-client. I
have used several NFS configs (v2/v3).
I have seen references to this problem in old archives (1997, FBSD 2.2.5/6),
but it seems the problem has never been fixed. Is this correct? I even read
the manual :-( but could not find a solution.
Below you will find a small program that reveals the problem, including a
fix., which I do not like, because it requires a change in user programs.
Regards,
Jakob Schripsema
