NFS Problems under Redhat 6.0

[Terry Barnaby]

We had problems with NFS in 2.2.3 -> 2.2.6 kernels. The main one being
some problem with caching. If on one machine you deleted an executable
another machine with the file system NFS mounted could still execute this
executable ! The change would only happen latter.

Also large files of the form .nfs* started apearing in server directories.

We have found that 2.2.9 is better, but still not completely well.
