    Managers,

Yesterday I had asked:

> I am seeing a problem when writing to NFS mounted filesystems.
> Client: Digital Unix 4.0b
> Server: IRIX 5.3

> The files are truncated a bit.
> The problem does not appear with NFS servers running either IRIX 5.2 or IRIX
> 6.2.

I received four responses, including two to install the IRIX 5.3 patches
because apparently the unpatched version advertises itself as an NFS version 3
server, but doesn't fully follow the protocol. I chose to use Ed Bolson's
advice:

> Include "vers=2" in your mount command options

Thanks to all:
