Re: [CentOS] I need some NFS explanations, please.

I next go to one of the clients and "cat" the file, and then do another "ls -al". Now the server and this client agree on the file attributes, but not on the second client which shows the original wrong result still. So now I think it's a client caching problem.

Can anyone explain the above situation and perhaps some settings that will resolve this without requiring the nfs client to open the file in some way before it gets the proper file attributes?

Try explicitly adding "noac" (no attribute caching) to the mount definition in /etc/fstab. If you're doing this as an autofs mount, it goes in /etc/auto.* somewhere, with a slightly different syntax.
