I don't know nfs, but this sounds like a buffering issue. On the server, the update occurs immediately, so you see the data. On your workstation, nfs knows an update has occurred by the size, but hasn't sent the data yet, waiting for enough to accumulate, so it displays it as zeros. Just a wild guess that seems to fit your experience. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
