[Gllug] NFS problem

[Alain Williams]

Hi,

I am trying to debug/fix an NFS problem.

The client is an oldish TRU64 unix box, the server a MS Windows 2000 advanced server.
The system is used for builds - lots of C++.

The cxx compiler occasionally blows up with:
	cxx: Severe: Unable to compress file "./cxx_repository/tru64.g1.com.aokfBa":
        	  Permission denied
	cxx: Info: 1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of "../../../doc1gensrc/igxmlscanner.cpp".
	cxx: Info: Compilation terminated.
leave it a few minutes and it may work properly. It does seem to fail on some files a
lot 'in preference' to others.

It is the randomness that confuses me.

The NFS mount line is:

	borg:/source /export/home/source nfs rw,soft,bg,intr 0 0

(Borg is the W2K server)


The MS nature of the file server isn't inherently the problem, there are quite a few
*nix (inc Linux) boxes that use it without issue. This problem first
arose a few weeks ago about the time when IP addresses of everything were changed,
but this may be a red herring.


Anyone got any pointers ... ?

TIA
