Hi Andrea, Trond,
the demo for the NFS SHARED_MAP corruption:
garloff@daubechies:~/C $ uname -sr
Linux 2.4.4
garloff@daubechies:~/C $ ./test_nfs_shared_map ; head -1 ./testfile; sleep 10; head -1
./testfile
Linux NFS rocks.
Linux NFS sucks.
Sources attached. I still have to test your fix, Trond.
Regards,

/** test_nfs_shared_map.c
*
* Creates a file, expands it by ftruncate, mmaps it, writes
* to the mapped memory, unmaps it and closes the file again.
*
* This triggers a bug in 2.4.4 NFS client code: The file won't
* contain the data written to the mapped memory.
