Your strace shows that the inode number of the file changes in two
subsequent calls to stat.  This is unfortunate, to say the least.
Can you give us more information about the remote file system?  Is
that Clear Case or something like that?  Could you please build and
run the below test application like this:

  $ gcc -o getvolinfo getvolinfo.c
  $ ./getvolinfo //desdata2/universal

and send the output to this list?


Thanks,
Corinna
