Hi folks,

I was told about a very mysterious behaviour of a NFS-system. But I could not 
explain what's happening. So, maybe someone of this list is able?!

Well, there's a system running suse linux 7.2 with kernel 2.4.4 on a 
nfs-server using software-raid for the exported directory. More than 60 
clients (also suse 7.2 with 2.4.4) mount this export.
So the behaviour is the following:
I have one client and open four terminales.
In the first terminal (local) I do a mkdir foo in the mounted directory
In the second terminal (local) I do a ls in the mounted directory and I get an 
I/O-error
In the third terminal (ssh on the nfs-server) I can see the created directory.
In the fourth terminal (ssh on another client) I can see the created directory 
after about one or two seconds.

So, what's going on? Is there a misconfiguration? Are 60 clients too many??

thanks

Chris
