Take a recent kernel (2.2), go to the nfs directory and make sure that NFS_PARANOIA is _not_ defined in any source files, and make a new kernel. Linux supports NFS version 2, and solaris will first try version 3 RPCs and if they are refused, it will follow up with version 2 RPCs which work fine. If you don't do the kernel rebuild I mentioned, your /var/log/messages will get a whole lot of NFS: RPC wrong version messages although it will work perfectly. Don't let the lack of NFS 3 stuff stop you from using linux boxes. They scream once you learn the other trick of using "noac" as a mount option on the client machines. Bob >anyway, just testet 16.18.

But it is improving bit by bit. Tim Mann suggested a new hashing scheme that is cute for SMP users, as it effectively eliminates the Lock()/UnLock() calls without the danger of incorrect hash results. More as 16.19 gets 'closer'.. :)
