The Situation: o Two 3/60's separated by a long distance each on a fast local network and each network connected by a slow (9600 I think) line. o Because two programmers working on a project are located at these two remote sites, we decided to put the project under SCCS on one machine and then have the other machine remotely mount the disk. Each programmer would then set up a directory hierarchy under their own tree with symbolic links from the various SCCS directories to the one true SCCS directory. o Both 3/60's are currently running OS 4.0.3 The Problem: o For "large" files trying to do almost anything with them at the remote site results in NFS server ... not responding still trying Even though, on this same remote machine at the very same time that this message shows up, one can continue to do "ls" on the servers disk, do "stuff" with "small" files, etc. This "not responding" message is never followed by the familiar "NFS server ... OK" message unless an interrupt (control-c or control-z) is issued. o Things which set off this behaviour are: sccs get, vi, cp o "large" vs "small": The largest file which has NOT shown these symptoms is 293 lines long and 6658 characters. The smallest file which HAS shown these symptoms is 324 lines long and 7278 characters. If you have any suggestions on what our problem might be, any pointers to things we might try and do, anything that might help us, please send me e-mail. Thanks.
