I'm running PCNFS (FTP's version 1.1) on [34]86 workstations connected
to a central Unix based server. Now reading directories seems to work
ok but sometimes when transferring files backwards and forwards the
transfer simply stops, times out and dies. It doesn't seem to bear
any relation to the size of the files, the workload on the server or
anything but the one lead I (may) have is that a check on the client
nfs statistics shows that the last nfs error number is 253. Unfortunately
I can't find any mention of what that means anywhere in the piles of
manuals etc. lying around!!!
Incidentally for those interested the server is an Altos 486 running
16 nfsd's. I find this seems to give significantly better performance
than the default configuration of 4. There are other users on the machine
but I don't really care about loading - I just want this network to be
seen working!
