McCalpin) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sgi Subject: NFS on PI Message-ID:Date: 29 Sep 89 10:06:36 GMT Sender: news@stat.fsu.edu Distribution: usa Organization: Supercomputer Computations Research Institute Lines: 14 I am happy to report that SGI has fixed the problems I reported earlier with NFS crashing my PI. The second or third call to the hotline found someone who knew about a bug in the 3.1D revision relating to ethernet stuff. They shipped us a 3.1G tape and I have been unable to crash the system since :-). Apparently the releases between 3.1D and 3.1G were distributed only to sites which reported problems. This is a nice policy to relieve the user of the burden of upgrading all the time, but I would have liked to have heard about the existence of the upgrades and the bugs they fixed.... -- John D.
