Message-ID: <1058886422.7602.29.camel@ikarus> (raw)

Great, the current NFS HowTo has the solution:
Irix versions up to 6.5.12 have problems mounting file systems exported
from Linux boxes - the mount point "gets lost," e.g.,
# mount linux:/disk1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/xyz/abc
# pwd
/xyz/abc
This is known IRIX bug (SGI bug 815265 - IRIX not liking file handles of
less than 32 bytes), which is fixed in IRIX 6.5.13. If it is not
possible to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.13, then the unofficial workaround is to
force the Linux nfsd to always use 32 byte file handles.
A number of patches exist - see:

Sorry for the unnecessary initial post.
Regards,
Marc
