NFS consistency problem?

Hi Denis,

thanks for your suggestion.

I tried and now my options are:
sync,rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534

(afterwards exportfs -r and a remount at the client side)

It still happens:

I log onto computer A as user X, onto computer B as the same user X. Now, at 
the bash prompt I type
  echo A >> file.txt
on computer A, afterwards
  echo B >> file.txt
on computer B and so on.

cat file.txt gives me
  A
  A
  A

So, A did not get notified about the changes, B made.

And, by the way, shouldn't async still guarantee coherency?

Kind regards,
Jonathan
