Coda File System

no conflict but "No such file or directory" symptom

Another problem...

I have no conflict : the following command gives me a return code of 0 :

find . -noleaf -lname '@*'


The ls command works but if I do a cat command on a file, it tells me :
No such file or directory

#########################################
15:06 root_at_client1 /coda/myrealm/files# cat file.txt
cat: file.txt: No such file or directory
zsh: exit 1 cat file.txt
15:06 root_at_client1 /coda/myrealm/files# ls -l
total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root nogroup 117 2008-04-16 14:17 file.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin nogroup 10 2008-04-16 15:02 joebar.txt
#########################################

on client2, I have no problem : files exist and I can see their content.
And CODA tells me that there is no conflict.


Questions :

How is that possible? Where does that come from? How to solve the situation?


I tried to flush the cache with cfs flushcache. Everything went wrong!
So I decided to restart venus. That last option solved my problem. But
my questions are remaining... Where does this come from, how to detect
that automatically and also how to solve the situation without
restarting venus.

And a better question : how to avoid that sort of problem?

Thanks
