I have a file that is in a NFS mounted directory. The directory has been
exported by Hummingbird NFS Maestro server on NT. The file is being created
on the NT end

I notice that altough doing an ls shows the correct file size, incrementing
as it is being written, a wc returns 0 until the NT application has
completed writing the file.

Any reasson for this?

(DEMO:sefas)--> ls -lt
total 57024
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sefas sefas 29196288 Sep 11 10:28 IFSDPO16.001
(DEMO:sefas)--> wc -c *
       0 IFSDPO16.001
(DEMO:sefas)-->
