Howdy,

We have a SunFire V880 with a number of file systems mounted on an XP512
SAN via a JNI card going through a Brocade switch. These file systems
consist of relatively static data, and are mounted Read-Write should any
changes need to be made. System "A"

An E450 system also accesses these same file systems using a JNI card
going through the Brocade switch and has them mounted Read-Only. System
"B". Everything is working fine and the file systems are visible to both
systems. However, it seems than changes made to System "A" do not show
up as visible on System "B". I touched a file on A and there was no sign
of it on B.

Am I correct in assuming that this is just a caching issue on the XP512?
  It has a very large cache indeed accordng to our SAN guy.

Any pointers appreciated,

Thanks
