I have two linux boxes that have nfs-mounted a file system from a DG/UX
server. One of them cannot read the directories properly. Here's a short
Perl script:
****************************************************************
#!/usr/bin/perl
opendir(DIR, $ARGV[0]) or die;
@files = readdir(DIR);
print(join("\n", @files, ''));
exit(0);
****************************************************************
On server A:
% uname -a
Linux A 2.4.16 #1 SMP Fri Dec 14 15:31:54 EST 2001 i686 unknown
On server B:
% uname -a
Linux B 2.4.2-2 #1 Sun Apr 8 20:41:30 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
B is running the standard RedHat 7.1 kernel, while server A has been
upgraded.
On B, when I run the test script, supplying the name of an NFS
directory (on the DG/UX server), I get the "right stuff" -- a good
directory listing.
On A, the same operation gives me nothing. No failure or anything.
The script works find on local disks and on disks NFS mounted from a
Sun server.
The A server also has the reiserfs installed on an unrelated drive.
The symptom is not limited to perl scripts. I get strange behavior
from tcsh, too.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill
