I upgraded our webserver to 2.0.31 yesterday, in the hope that the
bugs in ncpfs we were experiencing would go away, but that didn't
happen. (We're running the web-pages from a netware server, don't ask
why.)
I get lots of messages like these:
ncp_put_inode: inode in use device 00:0a, inode 34215841, count=2
ncp_put_inode: inode in use device 00:0a, inode 609381, count=2
The inodes usually belong to .htaccess files, whatever that means.
I wrote a small program that would fork(), and repeatedly open() and
close() the same file, and that seems to trigger the bug.
Another thing is that after a few days with this behaviour, unmounting
the ncp filesystem actually crashes the Netware server. So there must
be a bug in Novell's software too. :-)
Seeing Linus' note about preparing for 2.2, and ncpfs not being ready
for that, I really hope that Someone (tm) will understand what's
wrong, and fix it for 2.0.32 as well.
