Hi,

what is the client's behavior if NFS3ERR_BAD_COOKIE is replied by 
READDIRPLUS3 ?
I have this error when running bonnie++ on top of my (non knfsd) server. 
At this step bonnie++ readdirs all dentries and erase them. One of the 
readdir calls ends with NFS3ERR_BAD_COOKIE and immediatly after, the 
client is calling RMDIR3, without having removed any of the found 
dentries. Of course RMDIR3 replies NFS3ERR_NOT_EMPTY, but I do not 
understand why REMOVE is not called. It looks like the clients behaves 
that the directory is empty after having received NFS3ERR_BAD_COOKIE 
(that just an hypothesis, I am not just this is what actually happens).
Do you have any idea ?

    Regards

       Philippe
