Very Computer

Hi all,

I'm experiencing some problems while trying to mount filesystems
exported by the TROPIC NFS server for Windows for Workgroups.
Linux will mount the exported directories but fails doing "ls" (Error
message is "memory exhausted") In the file list box of XV the file
count is 4096, although there should be only about 15 files. The first
file of the source directory is displayed repeatedly about 4000 times,
then the other files are shown. XV can't read the shown files.

The whole thing works fine on SUNs and on PCs running XFS NFS client,
so I assume a malconfiguration of the mount command on the LINUX side.
I've tried literally everything, but I can't get it to work.

I'm running LINUX kernel 1.2.13 installed from S.U.S.E. distribution,
and TROPIC NFS server V1.0. Everything else is fine, no problems,
except for Linux NFS in general seems to be beta state.

Any help from netland would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Markus

Are you perhaps trying to share a CD drive from the Windows end?  I found that
some CD's are mastered wrong and when I tried to mount them from the linux end
they would only show partial file trees.  Commands directed to a specific file
would however work.  Since ls asked for the full list of files it and programs
like it would fail.  

I haven't used Tropic for a while, I finally just added another partion to the
linux box and installed WFW. now it's easy to put files on the linux box and,
since Linux can "see" dos partitions, easy to get them from linux.

The newer kernels support SMB which is what Win doze speaks natively --
you will find that MUCH faster than running NFS server on the Windows
box.
