[comp.protocols.nfs] PC-NFS and locking on a DEC 3100

GEustace@massey.ac.nz (Glen Eustace) (12/07/89)

Our network is continually expanding, with the expansion seem to come a
never ending supply of problems to which our limited experience just has
no answers.

I am trying to use PC-NFS to mount a drive on a DEC 3100, running Ultrix
3 (RISC).  I must be able to use the NFS locking as the drive hold a PC
application that MUST be shared. (Advanced Revelation 1.14).  PC-NFS
does'nt seem to be able to contact the lock daemons.  Are 'lockd & statd'
on Ultrix compatible with PC-NFS?

Here is what 'rpcinfo reports':

C:\>p:\nfs\rpcinfo -p cc-server3

I currently have another copy of AREV running on my Sun386i, which works
fine, but I don't really want to have it serving the entire campus.  Can
anyone help?

 You need a working version of rpc.lockd vers 3. This version has the
DOS 3.1 locking and sharing extensions. The lack of available lock daemons
prompted me to request that locking and sharing be included in any upgrades
to PCNFSD.C from Sun. I don't know if Sun is going to act on this suggestion.
If you must have AREV running on a machine with out Sun's lock daemon, you might
try Beame & Whiteside's BWNFS, which has locking and sharing built into
the BWNFSD.C (similar to PCNFSD.C). AREV has been tested and is working with
BWNFS.
