1. On a snv_76 and later nfs4 server, create a new file on a local nfs shared
filesystem:
nfs4server% rm foobar
nfs4server% date > foobar
2. On an nfs4 client, first read the "foobar" file from the nfs4 server
that was created in step 1., then change the timestamps on the file:
nfs4client% cat foobar
Thu Jan 3 17:24:29 CET 2008
nfs4client% time touch -t 01011200 foobar
0.00u 0.00s 3:00.10 0.0%
Note that the touch command is stuck for 3 minutes until the
command prompt returns. While touch is stuck, the nfs4 client
gets "NFS server nfs4server not responding; still trying" messages
logged to /var/adm/messages.
Work Around
If this problem is blocking something, you can always turn off delegation.
