[comp.sys.apollo] apollo-nfs

asherman@dino.ulowell.edu (Aaron Sherman) (08/30/90)

I posted to comp.unix.questions, and tried to cross-post here, but I don't
think that gnus handled the cross-post correctly. Well, here is it anyway:

We have an apollo dn3500 with nfs 2.1 (DomainOS 10.2). We also have a Stellar
GS2000 running Stellix 2.0 (A SysV variant).

Problem:
When the apollo's disk (actually /.. which mounts the entire // tree :) is
mounted, and I compile a program (physically on the apollo, but from the
Stellar), and try to execute it, I get the message:
Killed.
which of course serves to flare some already fragile tempers around here.
When I look at the syslog messages this is what I see:
fault: process xxxx killed due to text file modification.

My guess is that the Apollo is modifying the time-stamp AFTER the load. This
would be interpreted by the Stellar as a coruption of the file, and so it
kindly kills the program for you.

Question:
Can anyone think of a work-around (perhapps some whammi nfs-mount option)????

Thanks, and as always I will post a summary if there are enough usefull 
answers.
