- When to Change
-
If a NFS server changes the contents of a symbolic link file without updating the modification timestamp on the file or if the granularity of the timestamp is too large, then changes to the contents of the symbolic link file might not be visible on the NFS client for extended periods. In this case, use this parameter to disable the caching of symbolic link contents. Doing so makes the changes immediately visible to applications running on the client.
