Hi Thanks to all those who responded to my question. The answer, really, seems to be "don't do it like that anyway". This is a point of view I can appreciate, but I really had no option but to split the servers the way I explained, for various performance-related reasons. Many people also suggested using quotas, requiring Unix users to be set up. This is also not an option. All our user data is stored in Oracle. The most helpful suggestion (and one I wish I'd thought of!) was to run rsh du -k, which would locally perform the stat()s on the store server and not over NFS. This has proved a great success. We're hoping to move to a commercial filer solution later in the year, although I now wish to perform some rigorous NFS testing before committing to this. I have a call open with Sun on this now. If they come up with any more useful information which fixes the underlying problem, I will re-summarise.
