Hello everybody,

here's a little bug report especially for Bill.

I was playing around with the new knfs and it works like a charm
between two Linux PC's ( 2.1.78 with linux-nfs-0.4.21 )

But when mounting the Linux server from an OS-9 2.4 VME-box
I get strange results:

1. Mounting "/tmp" as "/knfs" on the OS-9 box.
OS-9 cmd is: "mount linux240:/tmp /knfs"

2. Create 2 files under "/knfs".
OS-9: cd /knfs
OS-9: echo xxx > xxx; echo yyyyyyyy > yyyyyyyy
OS-9: dir -e (is like ls -l) gives:
Directory of . 12:25:30
Owner Last modified Attributes Sector Bytecount Name
------- ------------- ---------- ------ --------- ----
254.204 63/09/24 1010 ------wr 853 4 xxx
254.204 63/09/24 1010 ------wr 854 9 yyyyyyyy

3. Now copy xxx to yyyyyyyy.
OS-9: copy -r xxx yyyyyyyy (-r means overwrite)
OS-9: dir -e gives:
Directory of . 12:30:54
Owner Last modified Attributes Sector Bytecount Name
------- ------------- ---------- ------ --------- ----
200.204 63/09/24 1010 ------wr 853 4 xxx
200.204 63/09/24 1015 ------wr 854 9 yyyyyyyy

OS-9: list yyyyyyyy (list is like cat)
xxx
yyyy

So it seems, that the second file didn't get truncated.
Also very strange is the file date (on the Linux site
the timestamps are ok).
This behavior does not show up with the unfs server !

OK Bill, how can I help to fix this bug ? What other Infos do
you need ?

Thanks a lot
Frank
