I have a set of discs NFS mounted from a FreeBSD machine onto an OpenStep 4.2 machine. This should be a very vanilla 4.3 BSD impementation opf NFS as far as I know, and I have been using it for many years with no problems, including as a client for FreeBSD. But I have now noticed problems with the mount - specificaly that editing files over a certain size will cause 'vi' to coredump. The problems seem to start occurring round about 8465 bytes. There is also a problem that if you create a file of around this size in 'vi' and write it to the NFS mount then it will run in an endless loop filling the file with garbage. Unfortunately I cant say exactly when this started occurring as I dont use the OpenStep system that often anymore. I am assuming that this is some feature of FreeBSD's NFS which is not quite backward compatible with good old standard 4.3 The mount certainly used to work under earlier versions of FreeBSD though. What information would I need to supply in order to help get this debugged ? -pcf. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
