Visionfs AIX client

Visionfs was not just a SCO product. SCO bought Visionware in 1994; they were already making products for major Unix platforms. See A history of VisionFS for details.

Visionfs could run on Sun Solaris, SunOS 4.1.x, HP-UX, IBM AIX 3.2.5 and upwards, Digital UNIX 3.x, SCO UnixWare 2.x as well as SCO Openserver.

DAMMIT ! I've received a workaround on Friday and I simply
forgot to put it here (my apologies); here it comes.

=== cut here ===

Run 'visionfs clientadmin --stop'
umount /smb   (or whereever, just to be safe)
Revert all user modified files to be 'as shipped' (maybe easier to
reinstall
VisionFS? You can save copies of current.prf, mapfile, authfile, and
copy
them back before starting)

As root:
  cd /usr/local/vision
  rm vfsprofile/client.prf
  vi visionfs/_init/client/rsai*.prf

change the line

[nfsserver/mount/options={(,retry=0,timeo=300,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,soft)}]

to read

[nfsserver/mount/options={(,retry=0,timeo=300,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,soft,proto=udp)}]

Run 'visionfs clientadmin --setup'.

=== cut here ===

I've expressely asked the customer to report back to me his findings
in order to inform SCO about this issue; if this workaround does
work for yoy, please tell me.

Best,
Roberto

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
