Mountain, Framingham, MA Lines: 16 Message-ID: <34ni3l$i52@sundog.tiac.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: spoon.beta.com Quick question on some problems that I'm having with NFS. I go and set up an exported directory, and mount it (this is between two FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 systems). Additionally, I will use FTP's PCTCP/IP package with pcnfsd to mount the drive on a DOS PC. The problem that I have is that even if i set the files and directories 777, I get a "vnode pager read error: 5" from the Unix box, but it works fine from the PC. My goal is to use my larger FreeBSD box as an NFS server, with smaller FreeBSD box calling upon it for certain files (like being able to compile kernels, and software, etc). PRoblem is, directories disappear, I get errors as above, etc... The slave box has an almost identical passwd file, so I'd like to find a way to use the NFS drive as if it were local. -Brian
