Strange thing after upgrading a client to kernel-5.7.17, the client is unable

in their names, but are not available via ls -l.

Reverting the client to kernel-5.7.15 restores the expected behavior (all
files/directories are visible again).

Has anyone else see this?
Yes. I still have a record of the discussion (not on this list).
This is kind of a "me too" saying it does happen and no solution
is offered so feel free to stop reading now.

I was migrating a large array between two machines (nfs->local),
both running up-to-date f28 with kernel v4.20.17-100.fc28.x86_64.
I am rather sure nfs v4 was used.

The two systems are time synced. The source array is busy but not the target.

I used rsync to copy the data (a long running job) between the live arrays.
Then I repeated the rsync a few times and noticed that there is one file
(always the same one) that at times is copied, and at others is deleted.

In the end I ran a test (on the target) in the source directory (on nfs).
Given enough time the file shows up and disappears:

$ while true ; do echo "`date` `ls -l|grep setup\.c`" ; sleep 1s ; done

## the file shows up again later...

So this is not an rsync problem.

I mention then that the path to that file is long
        
/data1/download/vocore/builds/v15.05.1/build_dir/toolchain-mipsel_24kec+dsp_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-3.18.23/arch/mips/loongson/common/uart_base.c
and includes a symlink half way down this path:
        linux -> linux-3.18.23

The problem was not resolved but after a final rsync (with no activity on 
either array)
I compared the list of files on both before replacing the old array with the 
new.
