Hi, thanks for response.

I realized that I need three computers -- the server and two clients -- to show this bug. First I created two exported directories. One for each client. Then I created three files which are hard linked (details see below). Depending of the order of creating the hard links I can either access the file on client1 or client2 -- but never on both. I hope this helps finding the problem. Thank you for your efforts! Gunnar PS: this experiment was done with the 2.4.10 kernel (as mentioned before).
