Operating Systems AIX NFS file listing Post 302505525 by RichGreen on Thursday 17th of March 2011 06:31:04 AM

Thanks zxmaus,

NFS is designed to allow both the server and client to update remote file systems and retrieve their updated contents on the fly. I've just signed up, so can't post links, but googling RFC 1813 will allow you to confirm the protocol specification on faqs.org. The paragraph I'm looking at says:

"Procedure READDIR retrieves a variable number of entries, in sequence, from a directory and returns the name and file identifier for each, with information to allow the client to request additional directory entries in a subsequent READDIR request"

I believe that should allow me to list the contents of a directory if it's changed by the server. This is the way that I've always experienced NFS working in the past.
