[Linux-decnet-user] More RH7.1 / kernel 2.4 copying woes

[Paul S. <psh...@st...>]

I still haven't managed to copy a large file from a Linux system to a
uVaxII using linux-decnet under RH7.1 beta. I did the following:

1. Obtained the source for kernel 2.4.2 and rebuilt it, specifying Decnet
support be included in the kernel.

2. Rebuilt dnprogs2.07 against this kernel.

This has made absolutely no difference. The Linux Decnet node is seen by,
and sees, the Vax node, and files can be copied from the Vax to the Linux
box with no obvious problems. Sethost also works. However, if the same file
is copied back to the Vax, the following happens:

It's also not possible to copy the file from the other end using fal -ag.

I don't think there's anything very unusual about my setup, but I can't
believe nobody else has hit this problem since it's so easy to reproduce.
Help!
