Features and Fixes in Recent Releases
Chapter 1 9
from 20 seconds to 60 seconds. For slow networks, or environments
with slow servers or links, this helps prevent the HP CIFS client
from entering an unstable state that can result when a connection is
dropped due to an unanswered SMB request.
• Duplicate NFS requests filtered by the HP CIFS Client
This improves reliability of the NFS interface to the HP CIFS client.
• NFS attribute-caching is now configurable
This enhancement allows you to turn on NFS attribute caching,
which can improve performance of certain operations, such as
creating tar(1) archives of large numbers of files residing on
mounted CIFS file systems. The default setting is
nfsAttributeCaching = no, which maintains the same behavior as
in previous releases.
• Korean Language support
A new character mapping file, unimap-eucKR.cfg, allowsfor support
of localized Korean HP-UX systems with the HP CIFS client. See the
Installing and Administering the HP CIFS Client manual for an
explanation of how to configure character-map files.
Other Information
NOTE The following information about the mountall(1M) command applies
only to HP-UX versions B.11.00 and B.11.11.
A new version of the HP-UX mountall(1M) command has been issued as
patch PHCO_24777. This patch fixes two problems that can occur in any
release of the CIFS Client. The problems arise when there are CIFS
entries in /etc/fstab and involve extraneous error or warning messages.
In one case, if the CIFS Client is configured to start at boot, a misleading
error is placed in /etc/rc.log. The message will resemble the following:
Mount file systems
