NFS share mount deals with incorrect files

[Rene Sasse]

we got a problem with a NFS Server based on RH ES 3. Sometimes it happens that a connected client shows via ls /nfs-share incorrect filesizes. some files differ to the real-files located on the NFS Server. After a remount on the client to the NFS Share is everything okay.

this couldn't be the correct way to fix this problem. We connect the NFS share via TCP.

any idea what the problem could be ?

Use "sync" option when mounting the NFS filesystems.
