Several problems with Lockd nfs lock manager were addressed in this release These are a Locks held by a client that crashes are not properly recovered This may result in incorrect file locks that are never released Upon detecting that a client has crashed and rebooted the server will clear all locks held by that client b _ In some cases when a process on a client system blocks waiting for a lock it would not get waked after the lock was released A small delay was added and then the lock is requested c There is a long time period between the reboot of a system and its detection on the server The initial start up delay in statd was shorten from 15 to 5 seconds MVC Real Time Mode A new release of the mvc package is provided in this release New features include rtserial device support improved performance and reliability Sparse Copy Capability A sparse file is a file that was not written sequentially when it was originally created in a way that left large unwritten gaps between written data records An example of a sparse file is a core dump Such gaps when read are interpreted as being NULL byte data cp enhanced to preserve sparseness in the copied files cp S option added Each copy will be made sparse whenever possible mv enhanced to preserve sparseness when the move is across filesystem boundaries Previously mv preserved sparseness only if the move was within a single filesystem Motorola Single Bo
