SolutionYou can safely delete them
I would use a find +mtime
It is always good to keep your system fully patched with the latest stable NFS patches.
This may be a client issue though.

Re: many .nfsXXXX files in several directories
These occur when NFS files are removed and a process still has the file open.
>SEP: I would use a find +mtime
That's: find -mtime +nnn

Re: many .nfsXXXX files in several directories
Files that have been removed but were busy.
>Did files made by server or client?
Most likely by the server but it could be symmetric.

Re: many .nfsXXXX files in several directories
This opens the file, reads it and then closes it.
>is there problem my test scenario?
Yes, you must leave the file open, try using "tail -f" on the file.

Re: many .nfsXXXX files in several directories
I've had such files at my filesystem several times.
They were created at the server while running an application at a client, then trying to delete a file unsed by the application.
Normally, I believe, the .nfsxxx files should be deleted when the server (or the application at the client) doesn't need the file anymore.
Maybe this occures if you use hpux applications like 'vi' (and close vi), but it doesn't happen sometimes with foreign apps.
