Dear Group,
we recognized very strange behaviour of nfs:
Users access their files on different host through nfs4 (plain sys auth no kerberos sec).
They modify a c++ program and change parameters,
recompile it and execute it on different hosts for simulation.
We now observed that sometimes even after modifying and recompiling
the binary, an o l d version of the same binary is executed
The Binary resides on a nfs share.
- Write changes X to the Program and compile + execute it on PC A
- Write changes Y to the Program and compile + execute it on PC B
Instead of executing Program Y on PC B results and logging shows that actually the old version
(X) is executed on PC B.
Neither the problem nor the working execution is 100% reproducible.
Seems to have something to do with caching.
Regards,
j
