Greetings,
we've isolated our little problem but... the behaviour or the solaris system seemed a bit unexpected to me. There exhisted a >2GB file on our NAS and when the Solaris box encountered it, all communication (NFS) to the toaster became locked. We could ping, telnet etc... but no NFS. Once we tracked down the culprit, removing the file promptly returned the system to normal.
If I understand things correctly, Solaris 2.6 now allows larger files >4GB.
Anyway, I thought I'd post as a informational blurb, and maybe someone could outline the latest file (system) limits for the latest versions of the popular operating systems (HP,SGI,AIX, ..er...cough....gag...NT, and others)
Maybe this would be a good QA for the NetApp FAQ some of you discussed a few months ago.
