Load on a group of our servers has forced a change of structure to a cluster of machines with various drives nfs mounted. This works very well for most applications however a number of scripts use touch which appears to fail on files nfs mounted from other machines in the cluster, when run by the same user on the machine with the disk in question physically present touch works fine. The users are common to all the machines, maintained by nis. Any way to get touch working or is there a suitable replacement or is it nfs that is broken?
