The mounts are persistent, and we are not doing anything like that as part of the build.
I did find some information on the .nfs files: .nfs files are created by a clienthost when one process on the clienthost deletes a file while another process on the clienthost is still holding the file open. This allows the delete to appear to succeed for one process w/o causing the the process to begin getting stale nfs file handles. It is a hack, but it is the only way to simulate UFS semantics on NFS. The clienthost will normally delete the .nfs file once the remaining process holding the file open closes it. However, if the clienthost crashes, you get left with a .nfs file on the filer. Note that if more than one host is involved (e.g, process on host a is holding a file open over NFS, while process on host b deletes that over NFS), process a will get a stale file handle. Could something like this be happening as part of a simple zip task? -----Original Message----- From: Scot P.
