NFSv4 "Too many levels of symbolic links" error
- by user1434058
Both machines are running Ubuntu 12.04
Remote NFSv4 Client
$ ls /mnt/storage/aaaaaaa_aaa/bbbb/cccc_ccccc gives this error:
ls: reading directory .: Too many levels of symbolic links
How can I fix this?
When error occurs ls start listing the files, however PHP brakes.
On the NFSv4 Server
In /etc/fstab:
/mnt/storage /srv/storage none bind 0 0
In /etc/exports
/srv 192.168.1.0/24(rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check,crossmnt,fsid=0,no_root_squash)
/srv/storage 192.168.1.0/24(rw,async,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

I came across it in PHP.
scandir would return 1612577.gz & 1612579.gz, but skips 1612578.gz
and yet the file types and properties are identical on them
and this only happens on the nfs client, works 100% on the server
