mving a file confuses aolserver?

Hi,

I'm running aolserver 40r10 and openacs 5.2.x. I have found
that if I mv 
a file or directory while openacs/aolserver is running,
something gets 
confused about the move.

For example, I move dennis.adp to dennis.adp.old and move
test.adp to 
dennis.adp. This is a no no apparently?

Ok, fine. But sometimes you do it. Now, I try to access
dennis.adp and 
get a "file not found" even though there is a file
called dennis.adp there.

I restart openacs/aolserver. I still get "file not
found". I reboot the 
machine. I still get "file not found".

Is there some way to clear whatever is getting cached or
whatever is 
getting confused by the mv?

Could you try to reproduce this with a vanilla AOLserver and
a barebones
config .tcl (like the sample-config.tcl that ships with
AOLserver)?
This will at least identify if the problem is in AOLserver
or in your
application code (i.e., OpenACS).

This is the most likely cause of the behavior you are
describing. Likely the 
nsd process is running as a different user than the one you
are logged in as.

embarassingly, the problem was mine. Not aolserver's. I
overwrite a file 
with an older version.

I have noticed that firefox 1.5 caches more aggressively
than previous 
versions, so I do a lot more cache clearing.
