I got a very quick reply from Kam T Tam, who had had a similar problem.
I seems it is an old NFS bug which is still present in Ultrix, while
Solaris has fixed it. The fix unfortunately isn't compatible with the
old buggy version, so SUN has added a 'bug-compatibility mode' to
Solaris. This is enabled by adding the line
set nfs:nfs_shrinkreaddir=1
in /etc/system.
The fix can be enabled without reboot by:
# adb -kw /dev/ksyms /dev/mem
physmem <whatever>
nfs_shrinkreaddir/W 1
nfs_shrinkreaddir: 0x0 = 0x1
^D
Lynn Giles <lynng@redac.co.uk> verified the fix with exactly the same
reply. I also got a few me too's.
Thanx, folks!
