uname -a Linux odin 2.6.11-1.27_FC3smp #1 SMP Tue May 17 20:43:11 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I have some NFS mounts coming from the FC3 box going to various other machines, including: Sun Solaris 8/SunOS5.8 one example: uname -a SunOS enigma 5.8 Generic_108528-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 and HP_UX machines, one example: uname -a HP-UX vornak B.11.11 U 9000/810 2015365771 unlimited-user license Here is the kicker. I've tried various mounting options, but the end result after a period of time, is always the same. The main mount is /Build5. Deep into the mount, say 5 or 6 directories deep, 3 directories will disappear, however not completely. If I do an ls, you get this #ls AcrobatReader Docs Lc Ut workflow_svc Attclm Du Perform ViewManager AutoSvrStartup FileManager RequestServer Vlt C2 Ftridx ServiceRequest cenidx_svc Db Inc Su centra_svc However, a ls -l SHOULD give you this # ls -l total 400 drwxrwxrwx 3 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:28 AcrobatReader drwxrwxrwx 5 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 Attclm drwxrwxrwx 3 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 AutoSvrStartup drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 12288 May 12 21:35 C2 drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 20480 May 13 11:44 Db drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 Docs drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:33 Du drwxrwxrwx 4 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:38 FileManager drwxrwxrwx 4 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:38 Ftridx drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:35 Inc drwxrwxrwx 6 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:38 Lc drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:38 Perform drwxrwxrwx 3 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:38 RequestServer drwxrwxrwx 6 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 ServiceRequest drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 12288 May 12 21:37 Su drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:37 Ut drwxrwxrwx 4 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 ViewManager drwxrwxrwx 2 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:37 Vlt drwxrwxrwx 3 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 cenidx_svc drwxrwxrwx 3 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 centra_svc drwxrwxrwx 3 builder builder 4096 May 12 21:29 workflow_svc note the 3 directories with the larger byte sizes.

My only fix is to either remount, OR I can go onto the FC3 machine and do an `ls -R` into those directories, and they show back up. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks for your help, let me know any other info that might help. Cory McIntire
