Problem with Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885) on a GS 160 cluster node and with fast big storage systems

- files are shown in the directory, but we can't access them
- sometimes it takes serval minutes, than the files can be accessed

> Files are appearing and disappearing on the system level.

> total 0

ls -l does gather the information in two steps, first it reads the
directory and the it accesses the 'files' in order to obtain its
attributes. It seems it can't access the attributes and returns
file not sounf message.

I'm gussing this could be a Filesystem problem!
If so, are there any patches for this.

BTW, We had no problems with 4.0D!!
