Message-ID: <CArsxL.BI1@rot.qc.ca> Organization: Groupe de Recherche Operationnelle en Telecommunication (ROT) Inc. X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL9] Date: Mon, 26 Jul 1993 11:51:20 GMT Lines: 35 I'm having some difficulty with NFS. Here is the situation: System A consists of NETBSD-0.8 on 386/33 with 245MB IDE System B consists of ISC SYS V 3.0 on 486/33 with 660MB SCSI When mounting system B's directories onto System A, occasionally, when system A creates a file, the directory bit gets turned on, thus making the file inaccessible. Conversely, when system B creates a directory, sometimes the directory bit gets turned off (From system A's point of view) even though on system B, it is a directory. Unmounting, and re-mounting the file system corrects the problem, but it is inefficient to have to keep doing that. The problem is more prevelant when doing lots of file I/O, for example, extracting a big tar file. Since Sytem B has been connected to other AT&T System V boxes, and it had no problem with NFS, I suspect the culprit may be NETBSD. Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there a patch?
