5295.0. "4.1 ECO4 : typeless_directory functionality broken again" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Erwin Kneuts) Tue Mar 04 1997 08:04

Hello,

Seems like an old bug has bitten again.

Problem:
file system exported with /option=typeless_dir, nodata_conversion.


When viewing directory from  nfs client, some directory files appear with 
.dir extention, others don't.

2 different end customers experience the same problem.  both customers have 
their exports on VMS volume sets.

This is exactly the same bug as described in cfs.35040.  Customer hit this bug

for the first time in ucx3.3 ECO 8. It was fixed in ucx 3.3 ECO 10.

He recently upgraded to 4.1 ECO4  and hits the old bug again.

Is a quick fix possible or do we have to go through an ipmt cycle?
 
Thanks,

Erwin

For your convenience, I added the extract from the 3.3 ECO 10 release notes:
Here is the extract from the ECO10 release notes:
"        Images:

        UCX$CFS_SHR.EXE

        Problem:

        ECO D doesn't work for bound volume sets.  The directory
        record has a null FIB$B_FID_RVN if the file is on the same
        member volume as the directory.

        Solution:

        If FIB$B_FID_RVN is null, replace it with the one from the
        filehandle.

        Reference:

        CFS.35040.

    Right.  This was an oversight.  The fix never made it into the main
    development stream (or any ECO kits for other UCX versions) because we
    never got final signoff from the customer.  The IPMT case was closed a
    couple of months later for lack of activity.  I usually try to keep
    better track of these things.  Sorry.

    It is probably safest to submit an IPMT.
