Subject: a NFS problem

Hi,

We will appreciate if anyone can suggest a solution to our NFS problem.
We were running a linux cluster with redhat 7.3.

The NFS problem is:

Files written by a f90 program running at master node were not updated
for the other nodes to see their content correctly. It seems like a sync
problem.

The NFS was mounted with the options:
master:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,actimeo=0,noac,intr 0 0

some output from nfsstat:

Server rpc stats:
calls badcalls badauth badclnt xdrcall

I believe the sync consistency threshold is one second. Subsecond
coherency cannot be acheived, IIRC. Check the list archives for more
information.
