Thanks to the lightning quick responses from:

Ken Zachmann
Darrel Dunham
Chad Johnson
Jay Lessert

The consensus is that there is no cause for alarm and that NFS handles
everything just fine.

Thanks again

Original message:

We have an NFS file system which is exported Read-Only to a client.
Would there be any issues at the clients end if the content of the files
system was updated at the end of the connection which is exporting the
file system?

I know (from experience) that a file system such as one residing on a
SAN cannot reliably be mounted by two different hosts (even RW and RO on
different hosts) if using the Solaris UFS file system. I was wondering
if similar issues existed for an NFS exported file system? Or is there
even anything to worry about?
