Hi,

I have met a strange problem, I have a file server
which mostly works, however when I cd into a deep directory
and then try to cd .. all the way out I get stuck at the
top of my synthetic tree.

What confuses me completely is that pwd reports I am in /n so
the kernel must thing I am in /n - to me this means the mount driver
sould be passing all 9p calls to mntgen rather than to my filesystem.

I am sure its my fault and not a bug in the mount driver but I cannot
see how this can happen - Am I being na=C3=AFve about how pwd is implemen=
ted?

Anyone seen anything like this before?

-Steve
