From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; ntlworld v2.0) Description of problem: I have a nfs server which shares out a directory rw to 4 nfs clients. The clients mount the directory rw. Quite frequently one of the clients will update ont of the files it has mounted, and the changes do not flow through to the server, and onto the other clients. The inconsistancies are not resolved until the nfs share is unmounted, and then remounted by all clients. It appears that the cache gets updated on the clients, but not on the servers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.21-9.0.1.ELsmp #1 and nfs-utils-1.0.6-7.EL How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount nfs share over several clients. 2.update several files on one of the clients. 3.compare the contents of the files through the clients. Actual Results: The files had the same timestamp, atime and mtime, but had different contents. They are html files, and when browsing direct to the clients different results are viewed. Expected Results: Both html pages should be the same. Additional info:
