| |
Hi,
I have a FreeBSD server which exports a filesystem which contains a named pipe. When i try to access the pipe from my linux box, it sees a character device instead.
---------------------------------------------------- View from FreeBSD Server (FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE):
root@pcsrv1 [/data/kits/diskimages]# ls -l x prw-rw-r-- 1 rebehn wheel 0 Feb 6 12:24 x
----------------------------------------------------- View from linux box (Linux reno 2.2.13 #8 SMP):
reno:~# mount pcsrv1:/data/kits/ /mnt reno:~# cd /mnt/diskimages reno:/mnt/diskimages# ls -l x crw-rw-r-- 1 rebehn root 255, 255 Feb 6 13:24 x ^ ^^^ ^^^ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- View from Solaris box (SunOS paris 5.7 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20):
root@paris [/home/admin/backup]# mount pcsrv1:/data/kits /mnt root@paris [/home/admin/backup]# cd /mnt/diskimages/ root@paris [/mnt/diskimages]# ls -l x prw-rw-r-- 1 rebehn root 0 Feb 6 13:24 x
The same happens with a solaris nfs-export. FreeBSD sees the pipe ok, linux sees a character device.
Is this a known issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
