Hey Nathan,

A 30 second lag is normally an indication of an oplock
break timeout.  Just an fyi...If you are re-exporting an
nfs mounted volume on linux, try setting "kernel oplocks = no"
since I don't bnelieve the kernel file lease mechanism is
availble on an NFS mount but I could be wrong on that one.
Just a suggestion.




cheers, jerry
