.nfs files are created when a file is deleted that is still open. You should see a cronjob in the root crontab: /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind That cleans up the .nfs* files each week. So far the party line has been "fix your app". I've suffered a lot of .nfs* pain, but I'm not aware of any related bugs atm. benr.
