If I NFS mount any : >other unix box other than a PC box I have to use a block size of 1k. : It's said that 16-bit Ethernet boards do not suffer from this syndrom. It's not worse than in other commercial systems ;-) A nice example for that... Last week I had the same trouble with SCO's last commericial Unix (ODT 3.0 Enterprise server system) and a Novell 3.12 box running Netware NFS. When you try to mount a Novell partition the NFS mount immediately *ucks up when making a backup. A normal ls -li instead works. Next week I'll try a NFS mount from FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 to a Sun running SunOS 4.1.3_U1 (1.1.1 Rev B). If you like I can tell you my experiences. In my system I have a 8013 card (SMC elite 16Bit ISA). -- Andreas Klemm /\/\____ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH andreas@knobel.knirsch.de ___/\/\/ andreas@wupmon.wup.de (Unix Support)
