Do those help ? The 32bitclients option? In my testing, it didn't change a thing. Interestingly, unlike the original bug report, I can't reproduce the bug on all systems, but once it's triggered, I can reliably reproduce it. On one 2.4.2 system, one directory always fails to show up, on another, I can't reproduce the bug in any directory. Sometimes no files end up missing, 1 file is missing, or 5-6 files are missing when doing a `ls *` vs `ls`. On 2.2.18, mounting with nfsvers=2 seems to fix the problem, on 2.4.2 mounting with nfsvers=2 makes no difference. -Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
