Hello: I have the next situation, in linux Red Hat Enterprise 5.7 I can mount successfuly a windows 2003 share by doing, $ mount.cifs \\\\Windows2003server\\testcifs /root/cifs/ -o user=user Password: $ when I want to see the changes in a file on that server I commonly use: $ tail -f /root/cifs/Test.txt <Content_file> now whe I do a change in file Test.txt in the windows machine, I am not able to seen the changes in the Linux Box until I type the tail -f command again. The question is: Is this a normal behavior or there exists an option in mount.cifs or kernel module that let me see the changes in a real time way with tail -f? I already read the man page and doing some google but no answer so far. My versions are: Redhat Enterprise 5.7 samba-client-3.0.33-3.29.el5_ 6.2 kernel: 2.6.18-238.el5 Greetings -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
