issue file not syncing

[vast flint]

We have a share on Netapp
The issue is editing files in windows on the network drive which do not sync back to Linux
When I delete file in Linux it does not synced back to windows and vice versa
We need to disable sync and deleted but once we enabled it on server side file start to reappear

Any idea
Thank you

need more information.
What is being used to sync the data? Or are you referring to a mixed OS access volume?

[vast flint]

It’s a home directory shared via multi protocol

And user is accessing the share and deleting the files

It’s not syncing in between unix and windows

[unkempt nimbus]

yea, multiprotocol is a pain.

we generally force one protocol and mount it with that, regardless of the OS

Set DirectoryCacheLifetime to 0 on Windows, that usually helps

Are you sure that the user is accessing the same path over CIFS and NFS? Confirm the path the CIFS share is pointing to and the path that they are mounting via NFS.

Thank you for reply , yes paths are same , user is having this particular problem on one Linux server out of three

def check the cachelimit as well as system time/sync and network connections (dns, ldap, kerberos, etc).
We have had weird things happen with a system being out of time by just a few minutes.
It is really annoying that in todays world of tech, there are still so many competing methods of accessing the same file, and none of them seem to get along with the others properly.
