I had tons of problems with NFS on Solaris10u6 and 10u8, including unresponsive mount points, problems with delegations (esp. in the users' .ssh directories and .Xauthority files) and strange "permission denied" error messages for some ACL feature I never configured on the server. NFS in Solaris 10u10 works much better together with Linux. I haven't tried Solaris 11. My servers run Squeeze and the Linux kernel from the squeeze- backports repository (3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64). > Maybe this can be fixed.
