One particular directory contains many, many RPMs (96850). It reports that there is a 'readdir loop', and the loop in question contains corrupted names. I assume the name corruption is happening on the Linux kernel end, not the server end: "NFS: directory Development/rpms contains a readdir loop.Please contact your server vendor. The file: foo-bar-11.0flange-12345.AB5.x86_64.rpmmpmpmmT53 has duplicate cookie 1110018804" "NFS: directory Development/rpms contains a readdir loop.Please contact your server vendor. The file: widget-wiggle-11.0-12356.AB5.x86_64.rpmpm.AB5.x86_64.rpm\xffffffffm has duplicate cookie 353422206" Since the corrupted names are never displayed in an 'ls' of the directory (even whilst the problem is occurring), I assume that this is a presentation problem in the warning message. Unfortunately the problem had gone away by the time I tried using tcpdump to capture the on-the-wire data. jfletcher@gromit:~$ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.2.0-29-generic (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:03:23 UTC 2012 jfletcher@gromit:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Release: 12.04 The lspci information would not be useful - the system was running under KVM, with a single interface.
