It isn't anything new that we're only adding to Linux. I'm not trying to be annoying and hope I'm not coming across as such. Given that I've used NFS for many years being blissfully unaware of the close-to-open cache consistency requirement you've described (it seems to work most of the time!), I'm generally curious if there are other such rules I must follow or if the one we've been discussing is the only such rule. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
