I get several "NFS: directory xxx contains a readdir loop.Please contact your server vendor. Offending cookie:xxx" on the client side of an NFS4 mount. I have tried several different kernels 3.0.xx with the same result (currently using . I am using autofs. Issue seems to be related to the large number of files (with a high rotation as well). ls | wc -l gives >100,000 files.
Bug is intermittent, software tries to access the files with success some times, and failure other times (exact same usage pattern). The software fails with " Too many levels of symbolic links". No errors appear on the server log. It appears to be the same issue as reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790729
3.- I expect the software to access the files and no readdir loop errors to occur
4.- Software fails with Too many levels of symbolic links, kernel logs NFS: directory xxx contains a readdir loop.Please contact your server vendor. Offending cookie:xxx
