Our team recently upgraded our company's storage to a large raid running BSD and Samba. In this upgrade process, we moved our development data over to the new server and pointed our IIS 5 server to a share on the file server. Now we're having some strange issues with IIS not re-reading static content instantly.
When all the data was hosted locally on the development server, IIS worked fine, but now html pages and static content take up to ten minutes to show changes that have been made. This isn't a browser caching issue because we've flushed the browser cache and restarted the browser as well.
When we save script data (ie coldfusion scripts or php scripts) the new content is visible immediately every time we save new data. It almost seems as if IIS 5 is caching static content and not actually re-reading the files from the shared drive on the samba server.
Is there some way we can disable this cache-like behavior? It's driving some coworkers crazy and causing a good deal of loss in productivity because we have to wait as long as 10 minutes for the files to update.
