I observed an oddity on a nfs-mounted fs while using 2.6.11-rc5-mm1. I tried to save a file from xfig, and got an error message about a nonexisting file. Now apps may have their own bugs, so I retried in the shell:
$ cat > newfile newfile: No such file or directory $ Eh - of course it didn't exist - I was trying to create it! This also resulted in "newfile" being created with size 0. Repeating the "cat > newfile" worked fine once the zero-length file existed. Unfortunately, xfig always removes files before overwriting so it couldn't save on the nfs volume at all. File creation by "touch filename" worked flawlessly. After this I rebooted into 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 which haven't shown this problem so far. There were nothing in "dmesg" when this happened, other than a message about "mount" being older than the kernel. I can try to recreate the problem if necessary.
