[Nix-dev] Re: RHEL5 Issues re-visited.

Your use case works fine for me. (ie. cd /local/drive;  ls
/nfs/mounted/drive # works fine)
 
That can only mean one of 2 things

1. Something from the base system has 'sneaked in' to nix (causing
things to work)
2. Our configurations are subtly different.

I'll double check by installing and testing nix on a 'clean' machine,
but in the meantime here is some information from my machine.

$ Which ls

$ ls -l /home/isdtc/jsuresh/.nix-profile/bin/ls

All of the above *seems* correct? Any ideas where our systems could be
deviating? My hunch is our kernels are subtly different. My experience
is the headers and kernel must match *exactly*.

Cheers
Jeeva.

Say /remote/disk is an NFS-mounted directory, then change onto a local
disk and run "ls /remote/disk" to get the ominous error 550. Running "cd
/remote/disk; ls", on the other hand, will work fine. Similarly, file
name completion from a Nix-installed bash won't work, i.e.:

 cd $HOME
 ls /remote/disk<TAB>

Take care,
Peter
