hi,
I'm seeing problems when saving files via NFS on a RS6000. Our linux machine is exporting its / filesystem to a RS6000 with the following entries in /etc/exports: / atmagl50(ro,no_root_squash)
the RS6000 acts as a NFS-client, and mounts the root-filesystem of the linux machine on a subdirectory (/ns1). then, we'd save this NFS-subdirectory using tar:
rs6000: tar -cv -1 /ns1
when proceeding, we get error messages for all symbolic-links, like this:
a /ns1/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.5 23 blocks tar: /ns1/lib/libm.so.5: symbolic link too long
etc....
strangely, the machine also cannot archive /dev/zero: tar: /ns1/home/ftp/dev/zero could not be archived
'ls' shows that the symlinks appear on the rs6000 just the same way as they do on the linux-machine:
from rs6000:
[atmagl50]/ns1/home/ftp/bin >ls -la total 420 d--x--x--x 2 root system 1024 May 24 15:05 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root system 1024 May 24 15:05 .. ---x--x--x 1 root system 14736 Feb 26 1996 compress ---x--x--x 1 root system 45216 Feb 25 1996 cpio ---x--x--x 1 root system 44676 Feb 25 1996 gzip ---x--x--x 1 root system 22905 Feb 25 1996 ls lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 1024 May 24 15:05 sh -> bash ---x--x--x 1 root system 77649 Feb 26 1996 tar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 1024 May 24 15:05 zcat -> gzip [...]
from linux:
ns1:~# cd /home/ftp/bin/ ns1:/home/ftp/bin# ls -la total 210 ---x--x--x 2 root root 1024 May 24 16:05 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 May 24 16:05 .. ---x--x--x 1 root root 14736 Feb 26 1996 compress ---x--x--x 1 root root 45216 Feb 25 1996 cpio ---x--x--x 1 root root 44676 Feb 25 1996 gzip ---x--x--x 1 root root 22905 Feb 25 1996 ls lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 24 16:05 sh -> bash ---x--x--x 1 root root 77649 Feb 26 1996 tar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 24 16:05 zcat -> gzip
could there be a problem with the NFS-implementation on Linux ? I've check that Linux-Linux works fine (yes, does...).
OSversions: linux = 2.0.21 rs6000 = aix3.2.50
any help appreciated.
