Good news!
My sysadmin have applied the nfs patch to our Solaris 2.5.1 server.
I've tested 2.2.0pre4 client with the server using the test case I've
isolated previously and generally with building a large source tree which I
had seen corruption before. Both shows no sign of corruption. So as far as
I can tell, this confirms again that 2.2.0pre4 nfs is not to blame for the
nfs corruption.
For those who may have problem finding the nfs patch for Solaris 2.5.1,
here is a hint on where to get the patch:
> It seems patch rev -02 was produced to solve a customer problem (in Nov
> 1997) as a "T-patch" but never released. I think you'll find it will now be
> releaesed very soon however!
