I've seen something that I think might be similar. I have a directory with a bunch of subdirectories. Often the disconnected client says 'operation timed out' for this directory. I suspect that while connected it got a 'modified' callback, but didn't rehoard (because I didn't have hoarding set up, or whatever). It would be very cool if a modified directory were still accessible; this is straying further down the inconsistency/availability tradeoff, but since directory resolution works so well, it seems like a good idea. I haven't read the code, or even done controlled experiments, so I could be confused. Greg Troxel <gdt_at_ir.bbn.com>Received on 2001-02-20 10:21:20
