Hi list,

My lan server runs linux 2.6.9 and shares audio and video files via readonly 
nfs. Video files are mostly DVB records, up to 5~6 GB.

# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
/partage        192.168.0.0/24(ro,async,root_squash)

Reading a fixed size file on a client rocks, whatever kernel version.
However, reading a growing file (being recorded) works like a charm when the 
client runs a 2.4.x kernel but fails with a 2.6.x one. It starts reading  for 
a short time then stops, whatever the actual file size.

Any tips ?

Thanx.
