That is very strange. There was a small change in a function to that
call but it shouldn't functionally be different. It went from:
int getFileMetaData(char *fileName)
{
int ret = 0;
// get the file meta data and store it in the global structure
ret = stat(fileName, &fileMetaData);
return ret;
}
to
int getFileMetaData(char *fileName)
{
// get the file meta data and store it in the global structure
return stat(fileName, &fileMetaData);
}
When I try v1.0.3 it seems to be working for me with NFS mounts on
RedHat based distros. The latest version is now 1.0.5
(http://compression.ca/pbzip2/) so you may want to try that.
Otherwise I'm not sure what to suggest unless there is some file/NFS
permission problems going on.
Jeff.
