[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42242] Octave does not always execute most recently saved file in an NFS directory

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #42242 (project octave):

It appears that the Octave GUI relies on
the editor to flush its write buffers. (I am
not certain of this, but I could find no fflush
code in the GUI source.)

So, what editor(s) are you using and do
you think that the current text has really been
written back from the editor?

Also, I am not sure that the version of NFS that you are
using has been established.  I assume that it is V3.
Have you set NFS sync writeback? There is also a "safe
async writeback", but I do not think that it is
safe. Setting sync in the NFS mount options is safer.

Of course, even without the GUI there is the
opportunity for an editor to appear to contain
text different from what Octave would see. So,
it is possible for mismatch to occur outside of Octave's
control.
