I've recently installed PC-NFS on my PC clone, the PC-NFS daemon (obtained on a tape from SGI) on our Iris (a 4D80GT running 3.2.0) and started NFS service on the Iris. I export a file system and the PC mounts it just fine. Everything appears ok until you try to edit a file on the networked disk with a DOS editor. When the editor goes to write the file out to the networked drive (I'm using Brief and/or Q-edit) the write fails and the editor complains that the disk is full. The disk is not full. When you write a file in DOS you can only write 64K chunks at a time, and careful snooping shows that the write fails on the second write call to DOS. Consequently everything works fine if the files are less than about 64K and only one write is required. The Sun people speculate that this is an incompatibility between what they expect NFS on the Iris to be returning and what is actually being returned. Has anyone else had this problem? Were there any bug fixes to NFS in either 3.2.x, or 3.3.1? I'm worried that this will turn into one of those problems where everyone says it's the other guy's fault. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Adios Amebas, | "I've tried and tried and I'm still mystified, | | Rob Briber | I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied" | | NIST 224/B210 | -Elvis | | Gaithersburg, MD 20899| rbriber@poly1.nist.gov (Internet) | | (301) 975-6775 (voice)| rbriber@enh.nist.gov (Internet) | | (301) 975-2128 (fax) | rbruber@nbsenh.bitnet (Bitnet) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
