I reported the identical error message to Transarc about a year ago. We
were told then that the error message was benign and to ignore it. The
explaination, I believe (it's been awhile), was that some special debugging
was inserted into the afs driver code for Solaris 2.1 that depended upon
the presence of certain symbols, i.e., rfsdisptab_v2 and nfsfp_rfsdisptab.
I believe that support for the rfs file system was removed in Solaris 2.5
and 2.5.1. Hence, the error message you received.
I hope this helps.
