I must add the following "feature" of NFS since
about 2.1.4*.

I have a file system mounted via autofs
--------------------------------------------
automount(pid279) on /mnt/mnt type autofs \
(rw,fd=5,pgrp=279,minproto=2,maxproto=3)
milo.usask.ca:/home/isas/ildar on /mnt/mnt/milo type nfs \
(rw,nosuid,nodev,bg,soft,addr=128.233.17.113)
----------------------------------------------------

When I execute the following in /mnt/mnt/milo
--------------------------
% mkdir ttt ; ls -ld ttt ; cd ttt
-------------------------------
the output is
--------------------------------
?rwxr-xr-x 65535 65535 65535 4294967295 Dec 31 1969 ttt
bash: cd: ttt: Not a directory
--------------------------------
However, next

% ls -ld ttt

gives normal normal output

drwxr-xr-x 2 ildar isas 512 Dec 4 11:10 ttt

It looks like newly created directory structure
remains unusable for some time or until some
process finishes? As result I cannot run
more or less complicated scripts and programs.

My NFS server is
Universal NFS Server 2.2beta26
from Debian 1.3.

This seems do not depend on
1) the shell. I tried it under tcsh, instead of bash
2) is not related to autofs. It was like this before I
started to use autofs, and mounted via fstab.

Any comment, please, CC to ildar@isas62.usask.ca
