- Isn't this in the CAP docs, or FAQ somewhere? I swear I've seen it.
- Vanilla SunOS 4.1.x has lots of broken stuff on it's NFS, not the least
- of which is locking. You can get a patch #100173-08 from uunet or sun.
- It's called the Jumbo NFS patch and will fix lots of things. Once I
- applied this, AUFS could access NFS-mounted volumes correctly.
-
- Of course, having it report the Sun-quota as though it was space-remaining
- only seems to work on local disks. Apparently quota information from
- NFS-mounted volumes is not supported.
