server 1: 192.168.1.1:/vol/vol1/tree2 /test123
server 2: 192.168.1.1:/vol/vol1/tree2 /test123
ls -al show same set of files and dir 1. touch 1. Seen both on server 1 and server 2 2. CD in existing DIR "test" different set of files are seen from server 1 and 2. on server 1 touch aaa, not seen on server 2. on server 2 touch bbb, not seen on server1. behaviour I am speechless! What can this be?
Your clients are probably attribute caching. The files will show up on the other client, just not immediately. Most OS versions have a mount option to disable attribute caching (or reduce the cache time), but be aware, this can affect performance (there's a reason why clients do this).
Hope this helps.
