- cp'ing sbin/* across two NFS-mounted 386BSD systems with SMC
- WD8003EP adapters yields errors like:
-
- cp: ./inetd: No such file or directory
-
- and though most files copy okay, the files for which an error is
- reported get truncated. Worse, when using cpio -p, truncation occurs,
- but no errors are reported!
-
- Nathan Williams pointed out that the wsize and rsize parameters must be
- set if the RAM buffer is less than 8K. But this shouldn't be a problem
- with the SMC which uses an 8K buffer. Are there other parameters I
- should look at? Explanations? Thanks.
