Any progress on getting this fixed? Apparently BSD systems need .. lookup to work, while linux systems shortcircuit this in the kernel. pwd works in /coda, and fails in /coda/testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu poblano gdt 46 /coda/testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu > l -ai ls: ..: No such file or directory total 11 4293914626 drwxr-xr-x 1 root 65534 2048 Jan 31 2006 . 5817 drwxr-xr-x 1 7768 65534 2048 May 24 2006 15-610 76014 -rw-r--r-- 1 7768 65534 896 Nov 19 2004 WELCOME 67617 drwxr-xr-x 1 root 65534 6144 May 11 11:40 playground oddly, in my own realm, ls -lai gives me a .. line: 7 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root 65534 2048 May 11 14:15 .. which matches my realm in /coda: poblano gdt 55 /coda > l -ai total 7 7 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root 65534 2048 May 11 14:15 . So it seems that .. is sort of in my kernel cache, but not really, and things aren't quite right. A stunning number of programs (mostly newfangled heavyweight crud like acroread and soffice) fail if they can't do pwd. Programs like ed(1) work fine, but unfortunately I have to deal with pdf and doc.... Thanks, GregReceived on 2007-05-11 16:24:03
