- > Jan 2 14:17:23 orthe unix: NFS write error 13 on host insti
-
- orthe is a diskless indigo/4000 connected to server insti (also R4000
- indigo). We have been experiencing many problems with the diskless
- machines since upgrading to R4000's and this message has been
- appearing often.
-
- The problems are that, starting the day after they (5 of them) were
- upgraded, occasionally when someone logs out, the display goes black
- with little flashes of light all over the place. I would *guess* that
- it's either a problem with XDM or Xsgi since it only seems to happen
- when someone logs out. We have xdm terminate and restart the X server
- whenever someone logs out to avoid the X server's size growing. We
- installed a new 405F diskless share/client tree when the machines were
- upgraded. The diskless machines all have entry graphics, while the
- server is an XS. The diskless tree was configured for entry though, and
- they work fine 98% of the time. Each machine seems to go OK for a few
- days (say 20 logins) and then the display problem happens. TAC has never
- heard of this problem but also suggests it is a software problem.
-
- Any help/info appreciated, on either this or the write errors (or both if
- they may be related)!
