Hi François,

You didn't actually remove ".", obviously. The problem is that the NFS server is not providing that directory entry at all (not sure if this comes from readdir or where else) for the getdirentries(2) syscall. ktrace to ls -a shows (remember we no longer show files starting with dot if -a parameter isn't passed to ls):

$ ktrace -i ls -a /home/antonioh/testbug/
..

$ kdump -af ktrace.out
[...]
28060  2 ls       0.000002 CALL  getdirentries(0x4,0x800751000,0x1000,0x7ffffffff108)
28060  2 ls       0.058455 RET   getdirentries 24/0x18
28060  2 ls       0.000000 CALL  lseek(0x4,0,0,SEEK_CUR)
28060  2 ls       0.000008 RET   lseek 512/0x200
28060  1 ls       0.000012 CALL  getdirentries(0x4,0x800751000,0x1000,0x7ffffffff108)
28060  1 ls       0.000007 RET   getdirentries 0
28060  1 ls       0.000006 CALL  lseek(0x4,0,0,SEEK_SET)
[...]

It can't be the nresolve code (checked this with dillon, too) because the dir entry is shown when explicitly specified:

$ ls -ld /home/antonioh/testbug/.
drwxr-xr-x  1 antonioh  antonioh  0  3 jun 13:34 /home/antonioh/testbug/.

The problem must lay within the NFS server because mounting /home from a Linux server does show the "." entry:

$ ls -la /mnt
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  4 root      wheel     4096 28 mar 18:48 .
drwxr-xr-x  1 root      wheel        0  2 jun 12:46 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 root      wheel     4096 28 mar 18:48 .ecryptfs
dr-x------  2 antonioh  antonioh  4096 28 mar 18:48 antonioh

Best regards,
Antonio Huete

Bug #2416: '.' entry can be removed on mounted nfs filesystem
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2416#change-12020

----------------------------------------
I use a shared /usr/pkgsrc/packages on various DragonFlyBSD machines

Just after doing a "rm *" to remove accumulated cruft in packages/All
on a client machine, I noticed the "." entry had disappeared.

On the client machine I typed the command on, ls(1) only shows a unique '..'
entry in /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All. /usr/pkgsrc/packages doesn't
contain a '.' entry anymore. None of its subdirectories do.

On other client machine, the '.' entry has also disappeared from
/usr/pkgsrc/packages and all its subdirectories.

The server still contains '.' and '..' entries in the exported directory and
all its subdirectories.

Clients and server machines are all running DragonFly-3.1.
mount points and all of is
