I'm getting an Invalid argument
warning when moving a file from a local disk to an NFS mounted disk. The file is moved successfully despite the error message:
Warning: rename(/tmp/image.jpg,/mnt/remote.server-disk1/image.jpg): Invalid argument
The mounted disk:
$ df
remote.server:/disk1 917G 269M 871G 1% /mnt/remote.server-disk1
The exported disk on the remote server:
$ cat /etc/exports
/disk1 remote.server(rw,sync,root_squash,secure,crossmnt,anonuid=504,anongid=504)
The file on the local disk before rename():
$ stat /tmp/image.jpg
File: `image.jpg'
Size: 2105 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 33556339 Links: 1

The file on the remote disk after rename():
$ stat /disk1/image.jpg
File: `image.jpg'
Size: 2105 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file

Any ideas? Thanks
In Unix
you can't rename or move between filesystems, Instead you must copy the file from one source location to the destination location, then delete the source. This will explain the error message you're getting. However, it seems unclear as why it still does the move. This could be related to permissions or the NFS mounted disk is locally cached.
