In-Reply-To: <199605171405.QAA28323@giga.cs.auc.dk> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What version of Sun's O/S are these sparcstations running. We've discovered a bug in Sun's NFS implementation on Solaris2.4 (and, apparently, 2.5 as well!) which, on a PURE SUN network generates the SAME problems. This is with a CADD5 application saving Multi-Megabyte files to a SparcServer1000 (running Solaris 2.5 at this time). The problem has been reported to Sun and "they are working on it!". Don't have the BugID. ---- Stephen F.
