- Hi:
-
- This is a (shortened) repost of an article for which I got no responses. Writing
- to a memory region allocated with mmap call using MAP_FILE and
- MAP_SHARED causes a segmentation fault (RS6000 under AIX 3.2) when
- it is done over NFS. Mapping to the same file locally works fine.
- Documentation, as far as I can tell, does not mention
- NFS as a limitation. Is mmap supposed to work over NFS and this is an AIX
- bug, or is it not supposed to work and it is a documentation problem ?
-
- Thanx in advance, Ed Gokhman
