That does not look like an XID collision problem... That code path basically means that the fileids/inode numbers match, which would not be the case if we were talking about an XID collision causing the reply cache to replay an old request... That message rather symptomatic of a filehandle reuse problem. In other words a NFS filehandle appears to be reused to label a regular file after it has been used for a directory with the same fileid/inode number. That is a definite server bug. Are you sure that you are using the regular kernel nfs server? -- Trond Myklebust NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com www.netapp.com
