That's OK.  We're used to it :-).

Just this week (amazing how this stuff comes in clumps), Josh Huston
was kind enough to post that ufsrestore has problems with file systems
with large numbers of files, and he even knew the Solaris patch numbers
(from his letter):

  SunOS 5.5.1/SPARC     104490-06
  SunOS 5.5.1/x86       104491-06
  SunOS 5.6/SPARC       105722-05
  SunOS 5.6/x86         105723-05
  SunOS 5.7/SPARC       106793-05
  SunOS 5.7/x86         106794-05
 
  Solaris 8 patches are available only for customers with support
  contract with Sun:
 
  SunOS 5.8/SPARC       109091-02
  SunOS 5.8/x86         109092-02

Maybe one of these would help?

Just so I'm clear, are you saying this happens with AIX **clients** as
well as Solaris **clients**?  The server type probably has little effect.
