good to know ;-)

That's right.

That was the problem, the files were in cache, but I couldn't work on it.
Now I used files in a replicated volume ... and I can work disconnect.

It's really confusing.

But I still have a problem. Since I updated to coda-4.6.6 I can't return
from disconnected mode. 
cfs reconnect   and     cfs writerecconect
don't have any effect. cfs cs finds the server down.
  

btw. What's the difference between a replicated volume and a volume
replicated across 2 or more servers?
