This one puzzles me a lot:

[thba@vink layout]$ nc script/xw_functions.ample NEdit: getcwd() fails: No such file or directory NEdit: getcwd() fails: No such file or directory [thba@vink layout]$ ll script/xw_functions.ample -rw-rw-r-- 1 thba thba 16829 Oct 25 16:59 script/xw_functions.ample [thba@vink layout]$ pwd /home/thba/workarea/colibri/design/ana/layout [thba@vink layout]$ /bin/pwd /bin/pwd: cannot get current directory: No such file or directory

This error occurs in a bash shell on a regular basis. The funny thing is that I can just access the file by cat:

cat script/xw_functions.ample

works fine (I get the content of the file).

To solve it for this shell I do this:

[thba@vink layout]$ cd [thba@vink ~]$ cd - /home/thba/workarea/colibri/design/ana/layout [thba@vink layout]$ nc script/xw_functions.ample

And it is fine again.

This is a home nfs share mounted with these options: arend:/export/home /home nfs proto=tcp,nfsvers=3,bg,defaults 0 0

Both on the NFS server as on this client I see any errors or warning in any log. All kind of applications are affected by this problem so I need to dig into this deeper.

Server: FC3 client: CENTOS4.4

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Theo
