Public bug reported: When using NFSv4 client in Ubuntu 16.04 the the following sequence of actions fails.
You need a NFS server (S) and two clients (A and B). Let the NFS share be mounted at /nfsdata A: echo test > /nfsdata/file B: cat /nfsdata/file ===> test A: rm /nfsdata/file B: cat /nfsdata/file ===> cat: No such file or directory A: echo test > /nfsdata/file B: cat /nfsdata/file ===> cat: No such file or directory (!) Doing echo 3 > proc/sys/vm/drop_caches as root makes the file visible on B. 14.04 works without any problem. I have attached log from one of our servers, 4.4.0-47 kernel does not fix this issue. Syslog contains rpcdebug -m nfs -s all output for the scenario (with different filenames). I can do full packet capture of NFS traffic if you want. Mounting nfs with lookupcache=positive do not fix this issue. NFSv4 server is CentOS 6.7 in our case.
