Germany Lines: 32 Keywords: NFS, sun, VAX780, chaosnet, X25net, osinet, isonet I installed NFS on our VAX 785; it was really quite easy. The biggest problem is making sure you put the sun includes in /usr/include before letting the kernel makefile make genasym.s; I actually had the greatest problems with the chaos problem (see article in Re: NFS and chaosnet). Sun's installiation quide was quite good. Sun's panic claa traceback is a nice addition. Once the system boots you can go multi-user but umount wont work. The /etc/fstab format has been changed along with the umount system call. The mount daemon assumes the internet server is running; so you want to get a copy of 4.3BSD or 4.2.5 (Turbo). The list of files in the makefile is getting very long. My current kernel has internet, chaosnet, and ISO networks along with a bunch of X25 stuff. I'm currently splitting the makefile defines for CFILES and OFILES. Someone should fix config to do this; any volinters from sun :-) I've got my hands full untangling the OSI and internet code. Anyway, performance seems about the same, possibly a bit slower: find 50% faster due to improved nami() make 10% slower due to VFS overhead and the VFS code is really nice. -- -------------------------------------------- Pete Delaney - Rocky Mnt.
