No, this is still a problem. If a client believes that it has dirty chunks, then it ignores callback breaks in favour of preserving the data already in the cache. It would appear that, on Linux at least, simply opening a file O_RDWR is enough to cause the cache manager to mark the file as being dirty. In this situation, you'll never see updated data from the server. Both this problem, and the lack of flushing, need to be fixed.
