We're seeing a very interesting bit of NFS incoherency that I haven't
been able to explain. Is there an explanation (or solution!) for this
that I'm missing?
The NFS fileserver is 2.2.2-RELEASE
A webserver that wrote the file is 2.2.2-RELEASE
I'm looking at the file on 2.1.5-stable
The file is only written to on the webserver machine.
On the fileserver:
# ls -al users-db.pluto
-rw------- 1 2081 499 16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto
On the webserver:
%ls -al users-db.pluto
-rw------- 1 ldl webno 16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto
On the 2.1.5-stable machine:
shell# ls -al users-db.pluto
-rw------- 1 ldl webno 16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto
A wc proves interesting:
On both the fileserver and the 2.2.2-stable webserver:
# wc users-db.pluto
12 1604 15366 users-db.pluto
On the 2.1.5-stable client machine:
shell# wc users-db.pluto
9 1323 15366 users-db.pluto
The file users-db.pluto was created by 'cp users-db users-db.pluto' on
the webserver client machine.
I'm quite baffled. Anyone have a suggestion?
