    <p>I don't know if I am asking this right, which is part of the problem. We use NFS on our linux boxes. We have mounts to directories on file servers. We use 1 hour attribute timeouts and 1 hour data timeouts. We have to models of writing files. 1) We add to the end of files. When adding to the end of files, we keep the same file name. 2) Changing previously written data. When changing a file, we change its file name. The idea is that this will work well With caching, because data that gets written to a file is never changed. I need one more thing to make this work. With the current settings, I get "bus error" when I access a newly added part of a file using mmap when that part of the file didnt exist at the time the attributes were cached. This all makes sense and is expected. What I would like to do is force NFS to refresh the file attributes so it knows that the file is larger now. In a perfect world, I would do this only when I got a bus error. So... is there a command I can execute from c or the shell that can do this?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> I got down voted, so I guess my question is stupid. Maybe more information will help. When I use a mount that has a long attribute and data refresh, I get the microsecond performance I require. When I use a mount with a short attribute refresh, it becomes 1000x slower. I need the attribute refresh only when I get bus error. This is linux, so there is a good chance that a method exists to force this refresh. Our data only changes once every 20 minutes so I would like to explore the refresh on demand scenario.</p>

It's possible that the drop_caches approach suggested in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13946852/how-to-flush-nfs-attribute-cache could work in your case, but you'll want to sync your writes first!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
