I have been using the latest CVS with caching enabled and found it to be
generally stable.

While copying (plain cp) nfs mounted files I tripped over a problem with
softlinks that I had not noted before.

Copying over libgdbm.so.1.7.3 was no problem but doing ln -s
libgdbm.so.1.7.3 libgdbm.so.1 it failed to create the link.
The ln returned fine but ldconfig claimed that it couldn't make the link.
A plain ls on the directory recorded that the link "could not be found" yet
it discovered the filename but failed to find the file.

Trying to unmount the directory returned it being busy.
A reboot (simple reboot, no -f or -a) resulted in the link now seeming ok.
Is this a case of a zero length file failing to be registered in the cache
on creation but appearing on mount scan or something?

The NAND device is a 32MB part with df reporting 83% usage.
