Andy,
   Tim, Rendell and I have all experienced this problem using the latest
kernel  build.

Both Rendell and I have seen the /version file appear to be missing
after a reboot.

My experience was this. I rebooted my filer and PM reports /version
doesn't exist. I do an ls and it is missing. I go to the linux/rootfs
directory and do a make to put the /version file back on the rootfs and
the maker reports there is nothing to do because the file is up to date.
I do another ls on the filer and the file is there.


Rendell has seen problems with files disappearing that he copies
(creates?) on the filer but not when he creates them on the NFS server.

Tim has had similar issues.

Could there be something going on with NFS cache or the system clock
causing these issues?

Larry
