[MacTUG] Vanishing files in NFS mounts

[Marlon A. Griffith]

Hi Ian,

I found this last night and thought it may help understand what we discussed yesterday.

After yesterday's WWDC session on Network Home Directories, two 
different people asked me if I had seen an issue with NFS mounts 
where a user would have a folder open, showing contents of items on 
an NFS share somewhere, and when they'd click on a item in the Finder 
window, it would just disappear.

As it turns out, we did see this issue about a year ago. It was quite 
confusing and frustrating. It seemed to be a Finder issue, because 
the items were still visible and accessible in the Terminal. We found 
that relaunching the Finder would cause the folder to regain all its 
items, but that was rather annoying. Finally, by accident, I 
discovered the cause and came up with a workaround.
