My question was in regards to the discrepency between what UNIX reportsin the filesystem and what ncheck reports. A file created on a filesystemoften did not show up for hours in the list generated by ncheck (runningby hand, btw).  I was, at the time, specifying the block ...

The short summary is there is a bug in Solaris 5.3 NIS+ YP compatability mode(though SUN has not confirmed it yet). Debugging the code, Amd will hang onyp_order () when bound to the Solaris 5.3 server (but works fine when bound to aSUNOS 4 server). I removed the NIS_MAPS definition from ...

I've sorta fixed my problem with installing Solaris 2.3 from a localnon-Sun cd-rom. The problem seems to be in the SCSI target driver. It'sstill a little "loose" in how it deals with non-standard Sun cd-roms.I was able to boot from this cdrom and install 4.1.3 with no problem. Butin ...

Hi,Surprisingly I haven't heard from anybody but we managedto run an experiment ourselves exchanging tar files on4mm DAT tapes beetween Sun's and DEC AXP machines runningOSF/1. I have just verified, that writing and readingworks in both directions, however you'll need SunOS 4.1.3in order to ...

The problem turned out to be several users who were writing 90 smallfiles every two minutes to a file server via NFS. This wouldn't havebeen so bad, but the directories to which they were writing to hadbetween 80,000 and 200,000 files in them. We have since converted themto use a ...

I want to thank all those who replied. In order to make the HP 35470A4mm DAT operate with a SPARC 2 running SunOS 4.1.3, you need to do onething, set dip switches 6, 7, and 8 to off. To get the 2-Gbytecapacity of the a 90 m tape, the following values can be used for thedump command:/etc/dump ...

In short, ALL responses had suggested using either rdist or NIS(+), withrdist NOT being the bundled version, but the PD one.    We will not be using NIS since we'll be dealing with several NISdomains, so rdist seems to be our only option.Original posting below:# We need to ...
