We have and nfs mount from a windows pc nfs server. A file is created on the server, but can take as long as 50 seconds to become available on the client.
We are running Centos 5.2 (final), using NFS version 3. Is there anything we can do from the client side to see the file more quickly. The files are very small, usually about 1k

Look at the "nfs" man page and consider mount options such as acdirmin, acdirmax (or actimeo), possibly even noac in specific circumstances. -Alan
Alan, We set actimeo=3 and this has significantly improved our problem. I saw this value in an HP thread and seemed reasonable.
Thanks for the heads up.
