"SPARCcenter 2000 (problems with NFS)" (Jun 1, 2:31pm)
To: bugtraq@fc.net
This might be caused by a bug in the 2.4 NFS speed up code. Sun suggests
turning the feature off. It is supposed to be fixed in 2.5, but is unknown if
they weill retro-patch it back to 2.4. The only caveat that I know of is that
it will slow down NFS performance because it will now take back to the 2.3 NFS
code.
Put in /etc/system and 'boot -r':
set nfs:nfsreadmap=0
Let me know if this helps.
