- Despite the fact that you have supplied virtually ZERO information
- to help decode what your problem is (ie. _next_ time , tell us
- what machine, O/S, version, networking stuff, _exactly_ what the
- set up was and what you were trying to do, etc, etc, etc) ....
-
- My immediate guess is that you're doing a make in an NFS mounted
- directory. The NFS server is having problems supplying make with
- the file contents and for some strange reason the open/read/whatever
- is returning the error code for "Arg list too long". We get this
- heaps of times from our Apollo Domain/OS NFS server and the only
- real solution is to kill nfsd and restart it on the Apollo. The
- problem is intermittent but as soon as you get this you know
- you're going to have to restart it soon.
-
- cheers ...
