Message-ID: <7677@spdcc.SPDCC.COM> Date: 29 May 91 15:35:36 GMT References: <840@tiamat.fsc.com> <7669@spdcc.SPDCC.COM> Distribution: comp Organization: Kronos Inc., Waltham, Mass. Lines: 12 Going back to the subject line, "bugs in SCO NFS", I have located two. The first is that the rename system call doesn't work on an NFS filesystem; you have to link the file to the new name and unlink the old one. (This first turned up in RCS, coincidentally enough--see earlier postings.) The second, which I find quite annoying, is that VP/ix cannot "see" the files on mounted NFS filesystems. If there's an existing patch to correct this problem, I'd love to hear about it. Our LAN has about 10 gigabytes of DOS-related files on Novell servers, and I'd like to be able to access them from VP/ix under SCO Unix 3.2.2. -rich
