Hello toasters,
since some time we do see strange error messages in the logs of one filer.
Here is the message: [nafiler: nfsd.invalid.nsec.time:warning]: Client 192.168.139.43 has an invalid nsec mtime (V3):2196581216 on inode:700615
The client is a SLES10 SP1 and has the kernel 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp. I have searched NOW and the web but did not find a proper explanation of what is causing this error messages :(
We do see this message only for that client, never seen it for any other system.
Best Regards
Jochen
Looks like you have a file with an invalid modification time (mtime) timestamp. The timestamp 2196581216 displays as July 4, 1903 on my system (obviously negative). The inode gives you a clue which file. You can use the Unix "find" command to find it:
find dirname -inum 700615 -ls
Perhaps if you "touch" this file to change the timestamp, then the problem will go away. Also, is the clock set properly on the NFS client?
