I have been trying to NFS-mount volumes off of AI Lab SunOS Sparcstations.
The failure mode is quite weird: mounting with the nosuid option completes,
but if you try to touch the volume, you hang. If you try to umount the volume,
you hang. If you mount without using nosuid, then you win. I have no idea
why this is occurring. Can anyone enlighten me?
