[SunHELP] NFS problem...

[arman]

Hi all,

    I have 4 linux box and 1 sunserver runnning solaris 7.  Then sun server
/ect/vfstab config is shown below.

#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount
mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot
options

bg,soft
#kodiak:/export/home    -       /home/kodiak    nfs     -       yes
bg,soft

For example I run a simulation program from sitka, one of the linux box. I
made a ssh (secure shell) connection to the sunserver, and run the following
simulation (verilog)

>dc_shell
>write -f verilog ../gates/GLUE_T.v
>write -f verilog ../gates/GLUE_TOP.v

 The first write yields an empty file; the second is successful.  DC
 gives no error or warning.  The resulting empty file cannot be read from
 sunserver (although it shows up in a listing) - any operation returns
 "Invalid argument". Donno why. Any help would be appreciated. But it can be
read from sitka; it's just an empty file.  If on sitka I copy it to another
name this new file can now be
 read from midnight, and is just an empty file.

 Note also that if on the second write attempt I try to rewrite to
 GLUE_T.v (i.e. same name) I get an error:

 Error: Can't open export file '/home/sitka/anitajn/.../gates/GLUE_T.v'.
 (EXPT-4)
 Error: Write command failed. (UID-25)

Any ideas, to solve this problem...my bet it has to with NFS.
