NFS truncates files

[Galen Sampson <galen_sampson@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,
   I have a home directory mount via nfs.  The nfs server does not have
-maproot set so root's uid/gid are mapped to -2 (at least according to the man
page).  When I edit a file in my home directory I receive "permission
denied:file truncated" upon a write.  File and directory creation is not
affected, only the modification of the file.  The uid attempting to modify
these thing the file is 1000.  If I set -maproot=root on the server everything
behaves as expected.
   I believe src/sys/vfs/nfs_vnops.c to be the source of the problem.  Version
1.10 of this file is supposed to fix a file truncation problem.  Version 1.12
of this file contains changes related to the vfs work that is in progress.
   Example:

Script started on Tue Oct  7 10:46:33 2003
[1] mars:~/projects/libcr> cat > file << X
? hello world
? X
cat: stdout: Permission denied
[2] mars:~/projects/libcr> exit
exit
 
Script done on Tue Oct  7 10:46:57 2003

   And a ktrace dump of a vi session:
