- Hi there,
-
- I have an OS/2 machine running TCP/IP 1.2.1 and have now installed
- NFS on it. Most parts of the package worked well (even in 1.2) but
- since the NFS part didn't work very well in 1.2 (according to the
- net) I waited for the upgrade.
-
- I cn mount a drive to the local Sun without any major problems
- I mount them with uid and gid rather than PCNFSD, which will come later.
- I use the -b8000 and the -p switch to the nfsctl program.
-
- The basic commands like dir and copy work without any problems but as
- soon as I do any heavy (read real work) operations I get all sorts of
- strange errors. Usually I get RETRY failure in the nfsctl program. When
- I tried to copy a ~2Mbyte file I got a SYS0050. When i try to compile
- using gcc all NFS functions freeze and the nfsctl fails with a SYS3175
- error after a while. Due to a 000D trap (General protection fault)
-
- As I stated previously I run 1.2.1 with the latest CSD from hobbes
- for both the base and NFS. ( NFS 1.2.1 right out of the box didn't
- work at all it crashed nfsctl at the first use of a mounted drive)
- My system setup is a AST 486SX/20 with 10MB Ram a D-Link DE100 Ethernet
- card (NE1000 compatible). I connect to a Sun IPC with two 1GB disks.
- I dont think the hardware is at fault here since an NFS crash doesn't
- even disrupt a VT100 session. Its not as crash-prone when there is low
- load on the net or the Sun, I can't determine which is the decisive
- factor.
-
-
- I'd be very grateful for any help you may give.
