NFS

[Francois Rabe]

I have an NT server that serves it's disks, these are mounted on Tru64 via NFS. When I manully cd to the mountpoint and create, edit, copy and delete a file on the share it works fine. However I am using SAP and there is a script that runs, to do basically the same, with a dos-2-unix command in as well. This creates a file on the NT server with 0 bytes and just hangs there till I kill the SAP process..any ideas as to why? This share is supposed to have ALL permissions set.

Please let me know what is SAP.

Maybe there is a problem with the script, did you tried to run the script in a folder that is not shared by NFS. If you can create/delete files in the NFS share, I think that the problem is not related to NFS, but related to the script, or the permissions for who is running the script.

Do you have both statd and lockd running on either the server or the client or both ?
It is possible that the application is trying to lock the file and can't do so.

If all else fails, try running tcpdump on the unix side or Ethereal on the pc side to trace the connection and see who is waiting on who.
