Our developers had that issue of inconsistent file system view in RHEL based systems, some of it is solved by disabling dir list caching, another by using noac, what the other was doing was writing simultaneously to the same file partitioned over several nodes, I told this is probably not the right way to do file writing. apparently he used to do it in Sun Solaris and it worked flawlessly. NFSv4 brings to the table standard client implementation. unfortunately Red Hat recommends RHEL5 which should be out soon now for NFSv4 Walid.
