I'm using ncpfs-0.17 to mount NetWare volumes to Linux and then re-export them under nfs to sparcstations. Users on the sparcstations seem to be able to create files and manipulate them normaly. However, if the file doesn't already exist AND have data in it then redirection will only create the file.
ls >junk
creates an empty file called junk without the directory listing.
if junk1 is a file with data and junk2 is a file with data then
cat junk1>>junk2
concatenates junk1 on the end of junk2
if junk1 is a file with data and junk3 is an empty file then
cat junk1>>junk3
doesn't concatenate junk1 on the end of junk3
The local system administrator says that there is something "broken" with redirection in the kernel of linux. Is there maybe a problem with the ncpfs portion of the kernel or both. The problems are NOT present on the linux machine that mounted the NetWare volume - just the machines that have mounted the re-exported directories vie NFS. Any ideas?
