The fact that they are the same on the server, means you are setting up a testcase where the files+directories are acting like the "changing on the server" case as far as the client is concerned. If you want the above to work in a sane fashion, then just don't use 'nosharecache'. Cheers Trond -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer, Hammerspace trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
