Stuttgart, W Germany Lines: 35 We're experiencing problems with the PC-NFS 3.0.1 Product under DOS 3.3 together with HP9000-3XXs under HP-UX 6.5 : Our application on the PC-side uses *LOTS* of DOS filehandles (> 12). But PC-NFS seems to use some of them too (we use just one NFS-mount) . The usual way to solve this problem is to increase the FILES paramenter in config.sys on the PC - But DOS never gives you more than 20 handles. So: Is there a way to tell PC-NFS use less filehandles ? If not, is it possible to use RPC to implement an file-server daemon on the unix fileserver. Somebody mentioned the PC-NFS Toolkit. How useful is it for the PC (eg. do I need it for this kind of implementation) ? Ah, by the way: why does'nt PC-NFS like my rpc.lockd and rpc.statd on my HP9000-3XXs under HP-UX 6.5 ? I'm pretty new to this nfsgroup - so forgive my ignorance (;-). *Please* mail to me (mezger@is.informatik.uni-stuttgart.dbp.de) if you can help me out of this.
