[MooseFS-Users] cannot retrieve current directory .. getcwd not working on mounted moosefs filesystem

[Matt W. <mat...@gm...>]

I'm on Ubuntu 15.04 using moose 2.0.76. I have a master + chunk server
running on a Ubuntu 14.10 machine and moosefs is mounted on that machine
without problems. On the 15.04 machine the getcwd call seems to be failing
completely. Note that ls, cat, vi and other commands all work fine.

Examples:

1. Fossil can't see the current directory
$ fossil status
cannot find current working directory; No such file or directory

2. Ruby call to getcwd fails
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> Dir.pwd
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - getcwd
    from (irb):1:in `pwd'
    from (irb):1
    from /usr/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'

3. Chicken scheme call to getcwd fails
csi> (current-directory)

Error: (current-directory) cannot retrieve current directory

    Call history:

    <syntax>      (current-directory)
    <eval>      (current-directory)    <--

this was working fine up until a few days ago, I think a recent apt-get
update;apt-get upgrade might have coincided with it breaking. I haven't
changed any configurations. Any help fixing this appreciated.
