Hi All
I'm very new to Tru64 - I got my hands for the first time on Monday on a
brand new box for eval we're probably keeping.
I've also posted this to the SGI and the OSF1 ngs, but it's quite an urgent
problem so I'm asking you guys too.
I have the following situation:
A Compaq Alphaserver DS20 with dual 500MHz CPUs
uname -a gives: OSF1 breakdance V4.0 1229 alpha
Its straight out the box, an eval machine from Compaq and a bit of paper in
the box said path 1 had been applied.
A SGI O2000, 4 x 195MHz CPUs
uname -a gives: IRIX64 ziggy 6.5 05190003 IP27
I've exported a directory on the Compaq (breakdance) to the SGI (ziggy)
I can mount it OK, and in fact copied over 4GB of data over the network from
the SGI to the Compaq no problem.
I can, from the SGI machine, cd around the nfs filesystem from the Compaq,
cat files, etc etc but I cannot pwd:
ziggy 4% cd /data10
ziggy 5% cd u01
ziggy 6% pwd
Cannot determine current directory
ziggy 7%
This is the line from the fstab on the SGI:
breakdance:/user2/oracle /data10 nfs hard,bg,proto=tcp 0 0
And this is the line from the exports file on the Compaq:
/user2/oracle --root=0 ziggy.sanbi.ac.za
I have tried, on the SGI side, both hard and soft as well as both tcp and
udp for the protocol. Results are the same. Things are also the same whether
I am root or an ordinary user.
What fixes the pwd problem is to use NFS version 2, but that breaks a few
other things.
NFS between the SGI and various Sun and Linux machines is 100% fine, nfs ver
2 and 3.
All help would be very much appreciated - my users have a deadline and this
is a bad time for all!
Thanks in advance,
