Can Linux? My : >guess is no. : : do you mean nfs? My experince has shown that you cannot mount (nfs) a solaris : volume on a Fbsd machine, HOWEVER you can mount a FBSD machine on a Solaris : box... go figure that one. (I have not done much indepth research into the : FBSD->Solaris) I've had just the opposite experience. I using FreeBSD 2.0.5 I have NFS mounted drives from my Solaris 2.4 file server. The FreeBSD box behavied just the same as any of my Solaris 2.4 clients -- no better and now worse. What was your FreeBSD /etc/fstab entry? Could you mount this same volume with a solaris client? What was the solaris /etc/dfs/dfstab file like? -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
