rename() duplicates paths for a file on an NFSv4 volume

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • rename() duplicates paths for a file on an NFSv4 volume.

  • mv fails with the following steps.

    1. On client1, move test_file from test_dirA to test_dirB:

      [root@nfs_client1 ~]# mv /mnt/nfs/test_dirA/test_file /mnt/nfs/test_dirB/

    2. After that, on client2, move back the same file from test_dirB to test_dirA:

      [root@nfs_client2 ~]# mv /mnt/nfs/test_dirB/test_file /mnt/nfs/test_dirA/
mv: `/mnt/nfs/test_dirB/test_file' and `/mnt/nfs/test_dirA/test_file' are the same file
