NFS issue between FC4 and hp-ux 11.10

In my environment,FC4 is NFS Server and hp-ux
is NFS client. There is an issue I don't understand
how to solve. Sometimes, NFS client can not find some directory
on NFS Server,It seems to be hidden. NFS client just use
mkdir command create a directory as the subdirectory of the hidden directory,
the hidden direcotory can be see in the NFS client.
When NFS client occur this phenomenon, I ask NFS Client don't do anything then
log on server and check directory status in the NFS server. When I use
"cd" command enter this hidden directory,the NFS client can see this hidden directory
immediately.It's so strange.
This is my exports file in the NFS server
/home1 *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

This is NFS client's fstab
fileserver:/home1/hp93000 /home1/hp93000 nfs rw,suid 0 0

Somebody understand how to solve this issue??

Shalom

FC4 was a buggy release in my opinion, and I stayed away from it.

That being said, if their are compatability issues, it may be due to Linux FC4 using NFS v4 and HP-UX 11.11(I assume a typo in your title line) which uses NFS v3.

This issue appears to be permissions though.

I'm gussing the numeric user id's are not the same on the two systems. You see user name means nothing to the computer, user number is what counts.

If I have a user called snoopy on hp-ux and linux and the numeric user id's are different, snoopy is going to have permission problems with his files on one or the other systems.

The uid/gid is the same between FC4 and hp-ux11.11,I try mount NFS with version 2 and add nohide option,but the status still continue.
