List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I am experiencing a strange problem wherein a file placed on an exported directory accessible by multiple clients is occassionally only visible to SOME clients. However, if I "force" some fake activity on the shared directory (e.g. touching, then deleting a file in an infinite loop), then ALL clients see the file at ALL times. This leads me to belive the problem is related to some buffering or caching... but where? Relevant information: Clients ------- RedHat 9 kernel 2.6.0-test7 mounted 'rsize=8192,wsize=8192,noatime,nodiratime,noac' Server ------ RedHat 9 kernel 2.4.20-8 nfs-utils-1.0.1-2.9 exported "*(rw)" dir is 'ext3' mounted with 'noatime, nodiratime' Any and all help is appreciated.
