- B I G PROBLEM:
-
- Server: ACER 386/25MHz running SCO UNIX system V 3.2
- Ethernet-card: 3c503 (Etherlink/II)
-
- PC: 386 - (SX,DX,16MHz, 20MHz ... - ca. 15 of different sorts)
- Ethernet-card: Racal Interlan (NI6510)
- Novel (ne1000)
- Drivers:pktd.sys (in config.sys)
- ne1000.com 0x60 9 0x300 (in autoexec.bat)
- ni6510.com 0x60 9 0x300 (in autoexec.bat)
- Using int. 9 and I/O 300
- I've even tested other interrupts and I/O's ....
-
- FTP works okay with large files both from and to.
- Mounting drives - no problem ...
- Opening a telnet session - no problem ...
-
- DOS-copy:
- Example:Let's say i write (on local 'C:-drive') "attrib /s *.* > garbage"
-
- File 'garbage' gets a size of ca. 160Kb
- When i write "COPY c:garbage e:\" (e: is a mounted drive), it waits
- for a while, and sais 'error reading drive e: Abort,Retry,Fail?'
-
- But: (on local 'C:-drive') "attrib /s *.* > e:\garbage" - WORKS OKAY !!!
-
- This happens for all files which have a size > approx. 5Kb
- (ftp'ing works okay).
-
- Then: "copy e:\garbage c:" - WORKS OKAY !!!
-
- When working in any application like WordPerfect, i may 'STORE' the
- file, but not 'COPY' it !!!
-
- The problem is:
-
- COPYING A FILE TO A MOUNTED DRIVE DOES NOT WORK !!!!
-
- I've even used different block-sizes when mounting the drives.
-
- 'net use e: naf:/u0/erik /wsize=4096'
- (or /wsize=1024 or /rsize=1024 ......)
-
- PS: I've tested with PCNFS 4.0, and a file of approx. 1,5Mb was
- COPYED rather easily ...
- BUT: If we upgrade (it's expensive!), the problem is GONE -
- it is not SOLVED !!!
-
- Any suggestions ???????!!!
- Everything else works fine ...... !
