Hey,

We have users who regularly use the AFS filespace to collaborate. Sharing
folders and documents.
However, there are often long delays in one user seeing the
additions/updates/modifications to folders and documents made by another
user.

We have showed the users how to flush the Directory/Volume, and that
generally sorts things out, however it's not really the ideal solution as
the users are not that technical, plus they need to actually know that
there has been updates to the hierarchy so that they know to do the flush.

Should this be happening So much ?  It seems to occur quite regularly and
can take a while for the updated view to appear.
Are there any particular options or settings on the clients/servers that we
should look at that would help with this or can you advice on where to look
for any errors or problems which may be causing this ?

Users are mostly on Windows (should all be 1.7.4). With 1.4.12 on the
Server.
The vast majority of access are over the local network, so a small increase
in network traffic would not be a huge concern.

Many Thanks,

- bobb
