Hello! On Linux 2.6.28.10 server and client, with NFSv3 or NFSv4, I can fairly easily reproduce a case where creating a file (open,write,close) and then attempting to open it on another client mounting the same server returns ENOENT. If I run "ls" before I try to cat it, it works. To reproduce: ssh root@lps01 'rm -f /shared/ssl/test; stat /shared/ssl/test'; \ ssh root@lps02 'echo hi > /shared/ssl/test'; \ ssh root@lps01 'cat /shared/ssl/test' The original stat (or cat or open) is important as it seems to cache that the file does not exist. I can then even log in and poke around: lps01:~# cd /shared lps01:/shared# cat test cat: test: No such file or directory lps01:/shared# stat test stat: cannot stat `test': No such file or directory lps01:/shared# ls test ls: test: No such file or directory lps01:/shared# ls <files including "test"> lps01lsh:/shared# cat test hi Is this expected behaviour? The file system is mounted on both clients with: rw,hard,intr,...,acdirmin=0,acdirmax=0,acregmin=0,acregmax=0,noac (eg: we can't find a way to make it not happen.)
