Error description
When you are working in a remote Unix/Linux IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view in an interop environment and are using an Network File System (NFS) client on a Microsoft Windows machine, you may experience an error when you are saving view private files in UltraEdit, Eclipse or Microsoft Visual Studio.NET. The error is similar to: "The file has been modified outside of the editor. Do you want to reload?" You may find that the file is being saved twice with different modification times, which is causing this behavior. This issue does not occur with using an NFS client and local Windows views or remote Unix/Linux views using SAMBA or CIFS.
