Title:
  In NFS-mounted directories, depending on the number of items,
  whitespace is inserted between the permissions and the rest of the
  entries when using ls -la command

Status in coreutils-from package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On an upgraded Ubuntu 26.04 system with coreutils-from-uutils (coreutils 0.8.0).
  When I make an "ls -la" in an NFS mounted directory, I got a lot of white spaces between the permissions and the rest in each row. The number of spaces depends on the contents of a directory. In big directories which contains a lot of files and directories, the output becomes unreadable.
  In local directories everything works fine.

  When using a snap version of ls, i.e.
     /snap/core24/1587/usr/bin/ls -la
  it works as expected.
