dtfile and .nfs

Hi,
can anyone tell me, how I can deactivate the .nfs-files under CDE, which are generated, if i move or copy files. Those .nfs-files are a identical copy of the moved/copied files.

Kind regards

Re: dtfile and .nfs

according to my notes this is known internally in HP as JAGad90957 .... should have been fixed in latest CDE/Motif patches from 2002 timeframe .... so what's your O/S and patch levels wrt to CDE & Motif ? Consider installing the latest maybe ?

Re: dtfile and .nfs

Hi


Indeed should be fixed by now

However
The.nfsXXX files are created and removed by the client machine and the server has
nothing to do with it.

The files are created when you unlink a file, that is already open for a different process. This simulates the open/close semantics that unix has with
local files.
Kill the process that has the file
open, the client will remove the .nfsXXXX file.

Thus do not worry about it
