Run Fanotify test program ( See Attached fanotify test program -> fanotify_test.c: FAN_ACCESS mode) 2. mount a NFS4 volume 3. read/write a file on NFS4 Actual Results: ------------------ 1. cat operation: permission denied 2. vi operation : - if opening existing file: permission denied - if we try creating a new file: it says a swap file already exists Expected Result: ------------------- 1. reading a file should be allowed 2. writing a new file should be allowed Platform Information: ------------------------ Reproduced this issue on following platforms: SLES 11 SP2 64 bit: { kernel-version: 3.0.13-0.27-default } SLES 11 SP3 64 bit: { kernel-version: 3.0.76-0.11-default } SLES 11 SP4 64 bit: { kernel-version: 3.0.101-63-default } Additional Information: ------------------------- This issue is not present in : SLES 12 {kernel version: 3.12.36-38-default } SLES 12 SP1 {kernel version: 3.12.57-60.35-default}
So from what you write, the issue is apparently fixed with more recent kernels. From from upstream POV there's nothing to do. If you want SLES 11 kernels fixed, you need to report this through SUSE bugzilla.
