I use a PC running TSX-32 as OS (with DOS-FAT-filesystem) as a NFS-Fileserver to LINUX. After mounting disk "C:" of the Server (Host name "TSX") to the mount point /tsx/c of the LINUX System with the following command
mount tsx:c:/ /tsx/c -t nfs
all seems normal. Listing the mount point gives
drwxrwxrwx 0 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 c
After some time, usually after writing to a file on the mounted tree, I obtain a message like this:
Directory is invalid.
Checking the mount point /tsx/c now gives
-rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 741 Feb 7 1997 c
(Directory attribute lost!)
Unmount is impossible --> Message:
tsx:c:/: not mounted /tsx/c: device is busy
In contrast, checking the state with "mount" gives
tsx:c:/ on /tsx/c type nfs (rw, addr= ....)
To remount the NFS server, a reboot of the Linux machine is necessary.
P.S.: TSX-32 is a multiuser/multitasking OS running on I386-architecture, allowing to run DOS (16-bit)- and native-mode (32-bit)-applications simultaneously. When the TSX-system is used as a NFS-Server to SUN-OS, there are no problems.
