Okay, so I have this filesystem, and it's all nice and finished except for
one thing: (this is on Linux)
If, for example, I run the NFS loopback server on a filesystem, ls /sfs or
whatever, then kill the server, make a clean filesystem, rerun the server,
then ls /sfs, all the old files are still there. The kernel caches NFS
data and for the life of me I can't figure out what I have to do in the
NFS server to make the kernel realize that its cached data is invalid.
The way I've been doing it for a while now is to run my sfscd, then the
pristine sfscd, then mine again, which invalidates the caches. But, of
course, this is unacceptable. Any ideas?
