NFS - file version numbers

Layne Burleson_1 — Thu, 24 Feb 2005 11:21:40 GMT

I'm running tcpip 5.4 eco 4 on vms 7.3-1. When a export a vms directory to a PC client, the pc client sees all versions of files in that directory. For example, x.dat.1 x.dat.2 x.dat.3

It shows the version numbers as .x. Is there any way to only display 1 version? I know that you can put /purge_version on the export command but that will purge the directory on VMS and I don't need that. I also know how to stop the version number from displaying when there is only 1 version, but not if there are multiple versions.

Any ideas?

see http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732final/6526/6526pro_046.html
table 22.12 about TCPIP$CFS_SHOW_VERSION

but I don't think this does what you want.
I found http://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_4769.html
which is not hopeful but is about an earlier version

Ian, that will remove the version number ONLY if there is 1 version. I already tried it. Surely it can't be that complicated for HP to handle. It works great in Multinet, but I'm trying to move to TCPIP Services.

The docs for the new version
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/tcpip55.html

nothing in there either :-(

It is unfortunate indeed.

I still have an open ticket with engineering.
