[LU-4603] NFS reexport leads to problems of "ls"

Related — Thu, 22 May 2014 13:24:46 +0000

When "ls" under a NFS directory, following error message showes up.

ls: reading directory .: Too many levels of symbolic links

And what is more, if the dirctory is large, (e.g. has more than 23 files), there will be some files missing when doing "ls".

[root@vm1 nfs]# ls * | wc -l
97
[root@vm1 nfs]# ls -l | wc -l
ls: reading directory .: Too many levels of symbolic links
98
[root@server1 113_nfs]# ls /mnt/lustre/nfs/* | wc -l
100

We've confirmed that these problems is introduced by 4e0c8ae(~~LU-3531~~ llite: move dir cache to MDC layer). A patch which fixes these problems will be pushed soon.
