Does anyone have this problem:
Machine A mounts a disk /mnt from machine B over a 100Btx connection through a
switch.

On machine A do
cp file /mnt& <return>
ls -l /mnt <return>

The ls waits for the cp to finish before returning. If machine A is a sun
instead of an alpha, it returns immediately with the size being whatever has
made it so far. How do we get this behavior out of an alpha. All are running
Tru64 5.1 and current patches.
