I have a folder shared from a Solaris box (I believe using pc-net link, but I'm not sure of the details) My fstab line is //machinename/Share /mnt/machinename/share smbfs credientials=/etc/fstabpwds/username,ro,user 0 0 And it seems to work fine, I can access all the files I need without any difficulty. But there's one file on there, in a subfolder, which gets updated every 5 minutes. (I mention that because I'm wondering if I'm catching it while it's being written to?) If I try to cat this file, the process never ends. If I try to copy it, the copy never ends and the destination file takes up all the space on my system. (unless I kill it first). Once in a very rare while, the cat or copy will work to completion, but it's not something I can get to happen on purpose. Anyone know what's going on, or better yet, how to fix it?
