Hi all,

16 GIDs limitation on NFS exists for a long time.
Recently I noticed that the Linux NFS-utils 1.1.5 rpc.mountd just added 
one parameter called "-g / --manage-gids" to override the 16-gid limitations.

I went back to Solaris 10 u9 and tried to check the version of 
/usr/lib/nfs/mountd; I found the mountd still stays at 2005 version. Is it 
possible to enhance the mountd
so that it can support "-g" parameter as well?

Without patching the mountd the NFS-exported zfs filesystems still suffer with 
16-gid limitation. 

Will Oracle add this parameter of mountd in the next version of Solaris / 
opensolaris or this will be patched in Oracle's commercial productions/storage 
systems only?

Cheers,
