NFS dotfiles
05 Feb 2010Reminder to myself: Got a file called .nfs.*
? Here's what's going
on:
# These files are created by NFS clients when an open file is
# removed. To preserve some semblance of Unix semantics the client
# renames the file to a unique name so that the file appears to have
# been removed from the directory, but is still usable by the process
# that has the file open.
That quote is from /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind
, a shell script on
Solaris 10 that's run once a week from root's crontab. Some
references:
- Using dtrace instead of lsof to find open files
- Mention of a possible bug in NFSv4 and OpenSolaris
- Another explanation
- Sun Manager's list summary
