NFS caching problems

My mail folder is mounted across NFS.

This doesn't work.

The problem seems to be that the last file block is partially filled, a=
nd
it is cached. If the file subsequently grows, I'll have an ugly block o=
f
NULLs in there until the cache times out. :-( The file's growth itself
seems to be noted by the client without problems.

Any good ideas how to solve that? The problem isn't confined to mail
spools...
