It's obviously broken because you seem to say that you know better, even though you also admit that: "How is the NFS client to know that these directories are disjoint, or that no-one will ever create a hard link from one directory to another? To my knowledge, the only way to ensure this is to put them on different disk partitions." the point being that you just disallowed people from doing things that are sane but _potentially_ dangerous. That's now how we work. The UNIX way sis to give people rope - if you cannot *prove* that what they are doing is wrong, then you damn well better not disallow it. No regressions, Trond. Especially not for stuff that used to work, was used, and that could be sanely expected to work (which this *definitely* sounds like). Please send in a fix. If the fix involves making "nosharecache" the default, then that is better than making policy decisions like this in the kernel. The kernel should do what the user asks and not put in unnecessary roadblocks. Hua - that said, I don't actually see why the commit you bisected to has anything to do with the issue being discussed. Can you double-check that it's literally that particular commit that breaks for you (you could try just reverting that commit). Linus -
