Re: NFS over-quota not detected if utimes() called before fsync()/close()
I reported:
On an NFS-mounted file system, when you try to write to a file and are
over-quota, the write() succeeds, but a following fsync() or close() fails.
However, when you insert a utimes() or futimes() call after the write(),
the fsync() or close() succeed and you end up with a zero-length file.
1. The error is with NetBSD's NFS client, not the server. Using a Linux
client, everything works as expected.
2. I think the problem is in nfs_setattr(), sys/nfs/nfs_vnops.c:681, where
files are flushed before setattr "because a later write of cached data might
change timestamps or reset sugid bits", but the only return value of
nfs_vinvalbuf() that's treated as an error is EINTR. Why?
