| Interesting... Do you get any errors at all from the nfs routines when
| this file-corruption bug occurs? (you are, I presume, able to repeat
| Mr. Sai-Lai Lo's bug?)

the test code fro Sai-Lai Lo doesn't have a problem with my setup (tested against Solaris 2.6 and 2.5.1). The corruption happens (so I find out) to both Solaris servers and a Network Appliance dedicated NFS server, so the problem is likely the kernel.

There are no messages in dmesg or syslog besides the standard ones (nfs_revalidate_inode, etc.)

I tried removing the rsize/wsize options from the mount commands (was 8192), and the corruption increased in frequency.

I'm trying to get a copy of good/bad files so that I can be more specific about corruption.
