- Here's what the NFS person who's worked on these problems said:
-
- You have to make sure you have two important fixes on the
- machines...
- ix27205 NFS NEEDS TO CHECK ATTRIBUTES OTW WHEN CHECKING A
- LOCKED FILE
- ix25573 VNOCACHE writes should not write full pages
-
- If you are on a 3.2 version machine, you can get both in either
- one of these two PTF's:
- U405261
- U409759
-
- If you are using 3.1 machines, contact the service line and ask
- for 3.1 efixes for NFS locking apars listed above, or the
- upgrade level needed to obtain them.
