Okay, I see that.
Someone should probably alert the Solaris folks that they might have a bug in their NFS clients. I suspect that they are only sending over the size element in some of the over the wire SETATTR calls when they really should be sending the size and mtime elements. This might head off a potential customer issue where they blaim Linux instead of Solaris.
Thanx...
