I have an open call with Network Appliance, but they have said that there must be something strange in Compaq's implementation of the NFS client. The same error occurs on Digital UNIX 4.0D pl3, 4.0E pl1, and 5.0 beta. It occurs whether the mount is soft or hard, udp or tcp, nfsv3 or nfsv2.
It seems like such a large, ubiquitous error that I can't believe noone would have seen it before. I thought that Digital UNIX support was standard, and I can't imagine how all of our Alpha clients could be non-standard in such a way.
You'd be surprised. Lots of vendors have little quirks in their implementation that, while they happen to work okay with one server, are really out of spec and may not work with another.
However, I know that Digital Unix *used* to work, but the last I ever saw personally work was 4.0C. So either they've changed something, or something in the new Netapp release fixed/broke something.
