Brief Description of Problem:
-----------------------------
we encountered some problems working with an NFS-mounted directory
residing on a SGI-system. This is our current configuration:
DEC-AXP (DEC 3000), DEC-Unix V3.2 (148)
SGI-Indy, Irix 5.3
The disk is mounted automatically during system startup. This is
our entry in /etc/fstab:
/user9@sgi1 /user9 nfs rw 0 0
Both systems seem to use the NFS3-protocol, the SGI for sure, but I
think Dec-Unix as well.
The problems:
- copying a file brings the following error message:
cp: xxx: Error 19932 occurred.
As far as I could see this happens only when I copy
binary files, plain text files doesn't lead to an error.
- moving a file results in the same errors, also plain text files
seem to work. If I move a binary file and an error occurs
the source file is blown away. In my opiniion these are
to errors, ths first one described and the second that
the source file will be deleted although there isn't any
valid copy of it.
- using ar on the NFS-mounted disk result in the same error.
I'm able to insert a few files into a library, but after
6 or 7 files the library gets corrupted.
These are very serious problems for us, so I help you can help
me as fast as possible.
Thanks in advance
Peter Poeter

To:[email protected] cc: Subject:NFS Problem -------- Peter- With regard to your problem with NFS copies from Alpha to SGI (our log #3148). 1. Be sure NFSLOCKING="1" in /etc/rc.config. If not set it by running nfssetup. 2. Can you ftp binary files to the SGI machine? 3. Does the binary copy fail for binary files when the copy is made to the same directory as the successful copy of text files? 4. Is there another node on your network other than the SGI machine that you could run your NFS test and thus isolate the problem to either SGI or Alpha? 5. You should check to see if SGI has NFS related patches outstanding against The version of Irix that you are running. Regards, Marvin Davis [email protected] | |||||

Marvin,
I'm sorry for the late reply, but I was aout of the company for a few
days.
Meanwhile we saved the problem. We talked to DEC and SGI here at
Vienna.
There was a bug with the NFS3-Server on the SGI. DEC (!!!!?!) told us
which patch we had to install on the SGI to solve the problem. We
called
SGI (they have their office in same building as my company) and told
them what we need. They send us the patch per e-mail (it tooks over
2 hours within the same building, it must have been send to the US and
back), we installed it and now it works. The people at DEC-Vienna had
made a good job.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Peter
