From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010131 Netscape6/6.01 I have problems with object files that are corrupted. I work on my linux machine in a directory that resides on an NFS mounted remote file system. I compile all C files in that directory into object files. Sometimes when I try to link the object files I get an error from ld. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a copy of a C source on a local dir and an NFS dir 2. Compile in both dirs 3. Compare resulting object files Please have a look at the URL http://hem.fyristorg.com/pof1/work/ Actual Results: The object file on the NFS dir sometimes is not linkable, ld says: "xxx.o: file not recognized: Memory exhausted" The object file differ from the reference object generated locally. Expected Results: The object file should not be corrupted, of course. The linux machine runs Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness), Kernel 2.2.16-22 on an i686. The machine is a Compaq 400MHz Intel Pentium II with 64 MB RAM. The NFS server is an IBM RS/6000 F50 machine with AIX 4.3.1. NFS v2 is used.
I think that this is a known bug in the AIX nfs server, and that an update for AIX is available to solve it.
