Hi - I notice the FAQ says that the crashes caused by updating shared
libraries on NFS partitions are due to cash consistency rules (FAQ D9).
Does NFSv4 fix this issue?

Thanks

Jeremy

No, you still need the workaround described there:

	http://nfs.sourceforge.net/#faq_d9

	"The correct way to update executables and shared libraries on
	your NFS shares is to use the install program with the '-b'
	option. That renames the version of the executable that is in
	use, then creates a brand new file to contain the new version of
	the executable."

--b.
