- Sigh yes, the above just don't work. The hack I use is to create N
- directories which are duplicate tree's with the files hard linked
- between the tree's. I have a cron script that remakes the links for
- any newly created files, edited files every few minutes. This only
- works for readonly/readmostly setups, otherwise the chance of
- collision on files is too great, and stale NFS handles abound.
-
- As to a simple way, the answer I got was no, and no plans to
- fix/support this functionality (DEC support Dec 91 8-( ).
-
- Yet another thing DEC didn't do right with NFS (actually mountd),
- although their lockd and statd seems better than average, once you
- figure out how to get it to work 8-(.
-
- If anybody has a replacement mountd for Ultrix, I would love to hear
- about it.
