649.0. "NFS times" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Detlef Schmier) Mon May 26 1997 18:23

Hi,

my customer is using NFS software for his PC's. They are using VMS as server.
They have the following problems:

Configuration:

VAX running VMS 6.2 with DIGITAL TCP/IP package installed. This 
VMS machine is running a NFS server, which is exporting some 
directories.

Windows NT 4.0 (or 3.51) or WIN 95 or WIN3x running Chameleon 
NFS/X is NFS-client accessing a export of the VMS NFS Server.

We can mount successfully, but when files are listed (or should 
be listed) in Explorer or Filemanager, we get two different 
scenarios:
1. Files are all listed, but the time is not displayed 
correctly,what means the time is different fromn the time the 
files have on the VMS.
2. We do get no files listed, or not all the files listed and 
the time is not correct too.

To find the reason for that, we requested a TCP/IP trace from 
one of the customers, and we found the following: The VMS NFS 
server seems to send file informations containing the time in 
microseconds. this seems to cause the problems our NFS client 
has.
We have been crosschecking with a DEC Alpha running VMS 5.2 and 
the appropriate NFS server, and here we see, that the time 
information contains seconds only.

Therefore my question is: Is there a chance to turn off the 
microsecond time format on the NFS server?

Detlef.
