[comp.sys.transputer] TDS and PC-NFS

heller@LISBOA.KS.UIUC.EDU (Helmut Heller) (03/07/91)

Dear Net,

We are using PC-NFS to access large remote disk systems (NeXT, Silicon  
Graphics) from our PCs (286, 386, DOS3.30, DOS 4.01). We are also using TDS3 to  
access (read/write) files and filed folds to those network disks. Up to now we  
were quite happy with that solution.

Suddenly (I don't know why and what I might have inadvertently changed) TDS has  
problems: when creating a (filed) fold (possibly with other filed sub folds)  
from within a program that filed fold stays EMPTY (length of 0 Bytes) as soon  
as it comes to reside on one of the PC-NFS network disks (interestingly enough  
the filed sub folds [which now can not be accessed from the TDS directly any  
more] have their correct contents). It all works fine on the local PC harddisk.
It is also no problem to create, copy, etc. filed folds on those network disks  
IF USING THE TDS FOLDING EDITOR.

Anybody else using PC-NFS and TDS? Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, Helmut  (W9/DH0MAD) _________________________________________________
