Upon reading the changelog, why shouldn't we fix NFSD which was acting carelessly, instead of hacking GFS (and with a sketchy assumption to boot) to handle NFSD's broken behavior? ------ Changes by: bmarzins sourceware org 2006-03-08 20:47:09 Modified files: gfs-kernel/src/gfs: ops_inode.c Log message: Really gross hack!!! This is a workaround for one of the bugs the got lumped into 166701. It Breaks POSIX behavior in a corner case to avoid crashing... It's icky. </BODY> </HTML>
