    Platform: Solaris 8, E420R with recent recommended patch cluster

    After installing the latest 5.8 kernel patch 108528-27, my two
    NFS servers experienced the following problems:

    1. "Warning: add-spec: no major number for SUNW,socal"

       /etc/name_to_major was missing entry for "socal 112"
       
    2. NFS timeouts for all clients attempting to access volumes
       on the servers, with the error message:
       
       "NFS readdirplus failed for server cressida: error 5
         (RPC: Timed out)"
         
    These two servers each have a T3 attached.

    Backing out this patch resolved these problems.

    Anyone else have similar problems with this kernel patch?

    Dave
