Hi colleagues,

if you used right directory names it might be connected to unknown (for
me) hardware issues.

I met similar problem two times:

- when I used Alpha server 4000 as NFS server;

- when I used little bit special server Intel (I do not remember exact
  configuration).


In both cases when I changed NFS server to more or less standard machine
everything became fine.

Best regards.


Andrey.
