- Hello,
-
- I currently do not even know, if this is the right newsgroup.
- we are running SparcStation 2, IPC and 4/470 with SunOs 4.1.2 in a
- network with IBM RS6000 Machines, some of the IBM RS6000 are also used
- as fileservers (the servers still run AIX 3.1.5).
- Mounting file systems is done with the automounter.
-
- The problem is that the creat system call is malfunctioning and damaging
- the file-system on the RS6000 file server.
- when i try to do a creat call on a directory an error should be returned.
- on a sun, using a sun file server, this works correctly, also between the
- rs6000 workstations. when i use creat on a directory on a sun with a
- file-system mounted from an RS6000 machine, no error is return, instead the
- directory is truncated to zero length (!!).
- trying this the other way round (ibm rs6000 has mounted a file-system from
- a sun) no problem occurs.
-
- Now the question: Whose fault might it be ? IBM or Sun ?
