If the brendnew ultra was replacing a previous afs/nfs xlator running
solaris 2.4, and had clients successfully nfs mounting /afs, then you will
have to wait until transarc releases the long-awaited sun4x_55 patch-release
which will fix the afs/nfs translator panics. It's broke, it's always been
broke (on 2.5), Transarc knows it, and I wish they would fix it soon.
I've got about 10 machines running Solaris-2.5 which desperately need the
afs/nfs translator....!
