Bug#617364: linux-2.6: lseek() over NFS is returning an incorrect file length under some, circumstances
Package: linux-2.6
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Due to a NFS attribute revalidation problem it might happen that
lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END) returns a stale file size.
Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672981 and
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-01/msg02611.php for
details. It would be appreciated if the bug could be fixed in the next
point-releases for Lenny and Squeeze.
Thanks and cheers,
Bernd
