- A few days ago, I posted a question about why the elm aliases.hash file
- created by my workstation, was not the same as the aliases.hash file
- created on another sun machine on which my files are mounted.
-
- Syd Weinstein provided the answer:
-
- >Elm 2.3 aliases require 2 things to be the same to work across
- >multi-machine networks. The first is that the size of the alias table
- >on all machines be configured the same. The second is that the system
- >be build with the d_nfs to true such that the aliases are stored in
- >network byte order.
-
- He also mentioned that this problem will go away in elm 2.4 because the
- alias stuff is done differently.
