Subject: NFS4ERR_DELAY and OP4_PUTROOTFH

Hi,

in which situation would OP4_PUTROOTFH return NFS4ERR_DELAY ? I have
seen in rfc5661 that PUTROOTFH can return such an error, but I can't
figure out when this can occur.

Regards,

Philippe

That depends entirely on the server implementation. In the case of the
Linux server, it depends on an upcall to a userland daemon to find the
root, and the userland daemon may be slow or unresponsive.
