After spotting the use of lofs on sun-lamp, I thought that this would
be quite useful and set about restructuring my machine to make use of
it. (And I am pleased with the result!)

BUT!!

I get some really strange problems when I try to copy files around (I'm
not sure that it's a lofs problem, it could be something else, but it
started when I setup lofs).

Example...

cwd is /sys/arch/i386/isa

# mv /usr/tmp/wd/wd.c .
# ls
[loads of files including wd.c (old one was moved out of the way]
# ls -CF
ls: wd.c: No such file or directory
[plus all the normal files]

BUT!!

If I use 'mv /usr/tmp/wd/wd.c wd.c' instead of 'mv /usr/tmp/wd/wd.c .' it
all works fine.

HELP!!!

Lee.
