Am I one sandwich short of a picnic or....is something up with the linux
nfs client code?
Running the following machines:
alphabox: DEC Alpha running Digital Unix 4.0, serving my home directory
linuxbox: PPro running Redhat 4.2, 2.0.32 kernel
in my home directory on linuxbox:
linuxbox>mknod wibble p
linuxbox>ls -al wibble
-rw------- 1 clifford users 0 Jan 9 14:35 wibble
then on alphabox:
alphabox>ls -al wibble
-rw------- 1 clifford users 0 Jan 9 14:35 wibble
alphabox>/bin/rm wibble
alphabox>mknod wibble p
alphabox>ls -al wibble
prw------- 1 clifford users 0 Jan 9 14:36 wibble
and then back on linuxbox:
linuxbox>ls -al wibble
crw------- 1 clifford users 255, 255 Jan 9 14:36 wibble
hmmmm. In another cluster I have home directories served from a Sun
SPARC running Solaris 2.5.1 and the client is a PPro running Redhat 4.2
with a 2.0.30. I see exactly the same problem. Also with RH 5.0/2.0.32
as the client.
Mount options included dev and were performed both manually and with
amd.
Any ideas/explanations appreciated.
regards,
Neil.
