I have a server exporting partition as:
/data/foo *.example.com(rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=502,anongid=502,subtree_check)
... and client mounting it as:
myhost:/data/foo /home/myuser/foo nfs auto,soft,intr,timeo=60 0 0
Client has a process that moves some files from directory called in to error, and server has a process that moves them back to in.
For some reason oftentimes client does not see up to date state. The lag is long enough that you can notice it on manually executing commands in the shell.
$ mv in/foo.txt error/foo.txt
mv: `in/foo.txt' and `error/foo.txt' are the same file
But that file is not in error anymore:
$ ls error/foo.txt
"No such file or directory"
Let's try removing:
$ rm error/foo.txt
rm: cannot remove `error/foo.txt': No such file or directory
Well, but now you can actually move the file.
Other times I may run into this curiosity:
$ mv in/foo.txt error/foo.txt; find . | grep foo
mv: cannot stat `in/foo.txt': No such file or directory
./in/foo.txt
What's going on here? How can I fixx it?
