Our problem: FreeBSD: NFS server without any special parameters. Solaris: NFS client without any special parameters. Example - working on Solaris above mounted filesystem from FreeBSD: $ gzcat less-332.tar.gz | tar xvf - # This creates 74 files in # directory less-332 $ rm -r less-332 # This _leaves_ 43 files! rm: Unable to remove directory less-332: File exists $ rm -r less-332 # This _still leaves_ 15 files! rm: Unable to remove directory less-332: File exists $ rm -r less-332 # Uff, directory is removed now... I think, problem is in different versions (NFSv2 vs. NFSv3) - but it looks very trivial (?). If I mount NFS exported filesystem (exports FreeBSD) on Solaris with option "vers=2" (it says "use NFSv2"), problems disappear. But we are using cachefs (cached filesystem) over NFS with automounting feature and we have no change to say "cachefs, mount NFS filesystem with 'vers=2' option". There isn't any parameter for this on Solaris... I have tried to use "mountd -2" on FreeBSD server part, but it caused Solaris hangs... --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- Rudolf Cejka (cejkar@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz; http://www.fee.vutbr.cz/~cejkar) Technical University of Brno, Faculty of El.
