Workaround: For the NFSv4 ACL functionality to work properly, perform a full installation of
the Solaris 10 OS on both the server and the client.
Access Problems Between Solaris NFSv4 Clients and
NFSv4 Servers
In the current Solaris 10 version, Solaris implementation of NFSv4 Access Control Lists (ACL)
is now compliant with RFC 3530 specications. However, errors occur for NFSv4 clients that
use the Solaris 10 Beta 2 or Beta 1 versions. These clients cannot create les in the NFSv4 servers
that are using the current Solaris 10 release. The following error message is displayed:
NFS getacl failed for server_name: error 9 (RPC: Program/version mismatch)
Workaround: None.
Using mkfs Command to Create File System Might Fail
on Very Large Disks (6352813)
The mkfs command might be unable to create a le system on disks with a certain disk
geometry and whose sizes are greater than 8 Gbytes. The derived cylinder group size is too large
for the 1-Kbyte fragment. The large size of the cylinder group means that the excess metadata
cannot be accommodated in a block.
The following error message is displayed:
With 15625 sectors per cylinder, minimum cylinders
per group is 16. This requires the fragment size to be
changed from 1024 to 4096.
Please re-run mkfs with corrected parameters.
Workaround: Use the newfs command instead. Or, assign a larger fragment size, such as 4096,
when you use the mkfs command.
