touch and nfs
Load on a group of our servers has forced a change of structure to a
cluster of machines with various drives nfs mounted. This works very
well for most applications however a number of scripts use touch which
appears to fail on files nfs mounted from other machines in the cluster,
when run by the same user on the machine with the disk in question
physically present touch works fine. The users are common to all the
machines, maintained by nis.
Any way to get touch working or is there a suitable replacement or is it
nfs that is broken?
