Mmmm... very interesting, and well worth knowing! In this case the OS42
machine is the client, so its unlikely to be this, but it something Ihad never heard of before.

Neither of these help sadly. Whats even more exasperating is that I have
discovered that the effect is only confined to one particular mounted
drive from the FreeBSD machine ?! I have three drives mounted, all
rougly the same size, all mounted with the same options and all shared
with the same options from the FFreeBSD machine. The only difference is that
the drive causing problems is a RAID-1 volume, whilst the others are
all RAID-5. That should be completely invisible to the client though.

On the FreeBSD machine:

bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/exports
/home                           -maproot=0              frenic drift maekong
/mnt/shared                     -maproot=0              frenic drift maekong
/mnt/music                      -maproot=0              frenic drift maekong

bash-2.05b$ df

So now I am really flummoxed. Its not to do with the size of the directory
containing the file either, as I can move the file to other places - anywhere
on that drive wont edit, though it will on the other drives.

I've got all the patches and sadly they dont help either. Thanks for the
advice though. I shall keep looking to try and narrow down the probem further
