Possible bug? Keywords: sco xenix doscp help bug Message-ID: <4341@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu> Date: 14 Jul 89 07:44:15 GMT Organization: University of Hawaii Lines: 39 I'm having difficulty copying more than 14 files at a time with the doscp command. I am running SCO XENIX 2.3.1 on an Everex 3000A 16MHz 386 w/3MB of RAM, 64K cache, 183MB Maxtor hard disk w/Adaptec 2372B RLL 1:1 controller. 151MB XENIX partition, 32MB PC-DOS 3.20 partition. Here is the scenario... I have 32 files that total 679,296 bytes. I want to copy them to directory on the DOS partition, so I execute the following command. # doscp *.MAC c:/egamac It begins copying all the files in the current directory with the MAC extension to an existing subdirectory named "egamac" on the DOS partition. But, it stops after the 14th file (a total of 268,416 bytes) and displays this error. doscp: no memory for buffers # I delete the 14 files that it did manage to copy from the current directory and repeat the command. It copies 14 files (this time for a total of 341,376 bytes) and then stops and returns the same error again. I delete the 14 that it copied sucessfully and repeat the command once again. It copies the remaining 4 files (for a total of 69,504 bytes) without error. What am I doing wrong? Or is it a bug? The only common thing seems to be that it consistently stops on the 14th file. Has anyone else had this problem? If it is a bug, I hope we can identify it and have SCO correct it if it hasn't been already. BTW, I tried tuning the following kernel parameters to their maximum values, but it had no effect, same error at the same places; NBUF, NSABUF, NPBUF, NHBUF, and MAXBUF. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, --Carmen -- Carmen Maria Hardina, University of Hawaii at Manoa...
