Maybe you want to look at LIMITATIONS in README. Some might consider
|
|
them to be bugs.
|
|
|
|
But there are really problems that might be fixed in the future.
|
|
|
|
If you find some problem unlisted in this file, contact me at
|
|
"Petr Vandrovec" <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>.

You might experience lockups of ncpfs volumes. It happens especially
|
|
under high network traffic, not necessarily only IPX traffic. I am not
|
|
able to reproduce this problem on my machine, so I'm sorry I can not
|
|
do anything about that. When such a lockup happens, you have to shut
|
|
down the complete ipx subsystem by deleting all ipx interfaces,
|
|
unmounting all ncpfs volumes (in this order!) and restarting all
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
This problem has been solved by Martin Stover (THANKS!!)
|
|
See patches/lockup-2.0.30.diff for the fix.

'df' returns 0: Free disk space is distributed among the volumes in
|
|
NetWare. df is only able to report one number per mounted
|
|
filesystem. As connections are quite expensive for NetWare (with
|
|
mars_nwe and lwared that might change ...), I rejected the alternative
|
|
to mount only a single volume for a unix mount point. So I simply
|
|
return 0.

If you use Linux 1.2.x, In your kernel log there will appear messages
|
|
like
|
|
|
|
Nov 25 16:09:08 lx01 kernel: alloc_skb called nonatomically from interrupt 0000002e
|
|
|
|
These are a bit annoying, but completely harmless.

Known bugs:
|
|
|
|
- If GetNearsetServer returns invalid (nonexistant, downed) server, all
|
|
utilities gives up. VLM/Client32 in this situation tries randomly choosen
|
|
server after 30 secs timeout. You have to fix your routers at this time.
|
|
Sorry.
|
|
- nwdplist does nothing good. This tool will be finished after nwnet.c...
|
|
- manpages names for 3ncp section are too long... Is there a way to
|
|
define page header or ...
|

|
|
Known incompatibilities:
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM: ncpfs is not compatible with NSS volumes of beta releases of NW5
|
|
SOLUTION: Upgrade your NW5 to production NW5 version.
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM: ncpfs cannot access LinWare server
|
|
SOLUTION: LinWare does not support namespace calls used by ncpfs. Because of
|
|
LinWare is currently not maintained, you should fix it yourself or
|
|
move your server to MarsNWE or Caldera's NetWare for Linux.
