u're right.
Also, I'm not entirely sure which version of NFS that the SFU NFS
runs (other than it's some sort of PCNFS), and I have certainly not
tried transferring over 2 Gb of data to Windows NFS shares in the past,
no, tested 2 and 3 GB...4 seemed to be the new barrier. the version I
run (see other posting) supports nfs v3.
but here's what I might suggest doing to remedy this issue:
1. Split up data before the 2 Gb point (dd, truncate, or what have
you is your friend in this case).
2. Send data to Windows NFS share.
3. Download and setup Cygwin.
4. 'Recompile' everything back into its original file, if you wish,
using tools in Cygwin such as cat.
yeah, that is my last resort. Right now, I disabled amd, mounted via
mount_nfs forcing nfs3 (which should be default for mount_nfs, but not
amd)...and it's been running nicely...it has just crossed the 4 GB point
where it was diying before, so that's definitely progress.
Now to figure out amd.conf and force nfs3 for this server. And to figure
out why only under 10Mbps transfers via nfs (on a 100Mbps link...when I
can get scp transfers at 40 Mbps....)...
thanks for ur suggestions and time,Garrett.
