- #Subject: Ultrix & PC-NFS & CD-ROMs
- #
- #A while ago I complained that I could not see any files when I mounted
- #an exported CD-ROM on my PC w/PC-NFS.
- #
- #The problem was with Ultrix 4.2, and it vanished with the installation
- #of Ultrix 4.3. So horray ..... except:
- #
- #Although I now can mount the CD-ROM on the Ultrix machine, export it and
- #see the contents WITHOUT the ;version stuff (courtesy the mount option
- #'noversion'), PC-NFS's habit of making strange file names out of upper
- #case names somahow destroys the feeling of bliss.
- #
- #WHEN will we get an option to PC-NFS so that we ON A PER FILE SYSTEM
- #bases can avoid this messy "feature"?????
-
- In the next release! (:-(
-
- However... I'd be grateful for examples (using the PC-NFS "ls -b"
- command) of CD-ROM direectory listings which give trouble. It would be
- nice to be sure that I've covered all the cases.
