Segmentation fault after moving backend storage

[greg1466]

We have an old installation of LabVIEW (version 5.1) for HP-UX 10.20 that we need to maintain for legacy purposes.  I want to move the physical storage to a new more reliable server.  The old NFS server is an HP-UX 10.20 box and the new NFS server is a RHEL 5.4 box.

I moved the storage and updated all automount entries.  I can access the storage fone from the HP-UX 10.20 clients, but when I try to run LabVIEW I get a segmentation fault.  Loading only gets as far as initializing the menus on the splash screen.

I thought maybe it was caused by the RHEL storage being exported RO while the HP storage is exported RW, but changing it didn't help.

Wondering if it could be an NFS version issue, but that seems unlikely since I can get to the storage fine and other applications that I've already moved seem okay.

Suggestions?

Hi,

I ran across a KnowledgeBase article which may answer your question.  Please take a look.

Dave,

Seems like a pretty odd behavior to be dependent on, but it seems to have been the problem.

Thanks for the information.  I would have never dreamt of looking at that.

Dave,

I forgot to ask.  The KB article does not specify.  Is this only an issue for the file system on which the LabVIEW software is stored?  Or does it apply to any file system, like user home areas, that are accessed from/by the application?

I would say any file system because it is relying on the "." and ".." functionality.
