We have a couple of dozen Suns and a single 386 running Interactive 3.2. I have a file system physically on the Sun that's the file server mounted via nfs on the 386 box. Sometimes (not all the time, but often enough so that I can't work the way I want) when I do an I/O intensive operation such that the program is executing on the 386 but the data is read from the Sun, the console on the (Sun) file server fills up with rfs_read: attempt to read from non-file messages. What's particularly weird is we don't have rfs installed anywhere. (The string is from nfs_server.o). If I run make on the source in the nfs-mounted directory, or copy a large file from the nfs-mounted directory I eventually get the above. Why, and what should I do to make it stop?

ISC is sysV r3.2, can't deal with soft links in its filesystems. -bruce. -- Bruce Walton systems administrator bruce@ai.mit.edu MIT artificial intelligence lab 617-253-9667 cambridge, MA
