Re: [ossig] Transfering Large Files via NFS mount

I found the cure for the problem.  I had to mount the nfs volume with "sync" option on the client.  That did it.

 

Thanks for all your answers.  Hopefully this will help others in future.

Subject: [ossig] Transfering Large Files via NFS mount

Hi,

yesterday I found that I could not transfer large files to/from an NFS mounted directory.

 

I was trying to copy a file from my workstation (MDK 9.1) to the server (MDK 9.0).

 

There was no problem with small size files.  But when I tried to copy 650Mb ISO image it gave error after transfering about 100Mb.

 

I can't remember what the error was :)

 

Is this a limitation on NFS or is there a setting that I need to configure?

 

 

 

regards,

Venantius.
