Thank you. >=20 Others have commented on the git aspects of this, but FYI there is a ha= ndy program here: http://www.unixcoding.org/NFSCoding#NFS_Cache_Tester that tests aspects of your NFS implementation. (Sadly the one we have at work is crap, or at least it was last time I ran the program). Alex =20
