PC-NFS file problems
by fred.abounader＠vantis.com 26 Jun '97

Has anybody other than myself had problems with MS Word (.doc) and Excel (.xls) files stored on a NetApps (F-220) periodically being corrupted? I have had a half dozen or so problems in the last 6 months. Example is I have .xls files that start to load in Excel and about 1/2 way (looking at bar scale at the bottom of Excel) they spit out an error message "Unable to read file." Fred. "NetApps are (or maybe 'were') dependable, but STILL not as fast as my Sparc 20."

in response to requests, there's now a toasters archive. http://teaparty.mathworks.com:1999/toasters/archive . fwiw, that's a new dns record which i just made, so it might take a while for the new record to propagate around to you all. at the moment, the archive will be updated when i get around to it. i'll probably automate that at some point. there's no mechanism for submitting a post to toasters without having it archived, and i'll get around to doing that if enough people ask me. … [View More]

First off, thank you Dave for an excellent summary. And now for a few comments: > FAServer 400 The first box. A black tower tower unit. The > systems units held 7 GB and could do 400 > ops/sec. (Hence the name.) We've got one of these. It's got 7x2GB disks for 14 GB of disk space that, with parity and file system overhead comes out to about 10 GB of usable RAID storage. It's been in the back closet for almost a year now, but we still periodically think about … [View More]

Wanna kill your filer? Put lots of big directories with lots of files in there, then watch the nfs server not responding messages start up. I have an F540, 256MB RAM, and 8MB NVRAM that is just getting wiped out with numerous large directories. (~40-50k files/dir). Hangs of 20-30 seconds are not uncommon, sometimes as long as 3 minutes. Needless to say, we are not amused.

That last paragraph pretty much describes our situation - and it works like a charm! And yes, we have a private 100 Mbps Ethernet (crossover cable) between the Ultrasparc and the NetApp. We keep active, history and … [View More]

> Are people actually putting history files on the NetApp? Ours isn't. Same here. I did what I thought was the obvious thing - put history, active, outgoing and logs on local disks. Use the NetApp for article and overview spool. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug(a)nethelp.no
