I am running a mostly Linux shop, but have a single FreeBSD workstation to
support an application which is only available for FreeBSD. I am NFS exporting
a 4GB /home file system from DIANA, my main Linux file server, and importing
it to ATHENA, which runs FreeBSD 2.2.7.

Users on ATHENA (the FreeBSD system) can read files on DIANA:/home,
and they can create very small files, but if they try to write a file of
moe than
about 70 bytes, they get "FILE TRUNCATED" errors, and nothing gets written.

It looks to me as if writes work when the data fits in the inode, but fail
when
a data block has to be allocated. (Does Linux use that storage scheme ?
I know BSD does.)

1) I thought this might be due to user limits, but the "limits" command says
    everything is unlimited
2) NFS mounts from a HP-UX system work fine (I have an HP-16601 Logic
    Analyzer which access the same file system via NFS).

Has anyone else seen such a thing ? What could cause this ?
