It is bug, but patch is wrong. First, it will invalidate cache every time when YOU write to remote file. Second, Linux VFS mangles mtime, so that you should remember that inode has 2 mtimes: local and remote. Real fix is a bit more complicated. I'll send patch when temperature in my room will fall below 25C 8), if someone (Olaf?) will not fix it to this time.
