SUMMARY: SUNOS 4.1.3 & NFS > 2G

Basically just what i thought...

NFS takes care of the filesystem on the server end. The only problem is
the SunOS utilities (du, df) that report disk space. There still may be
problems with files over 2G, however that is not my concern. We have
lots of small files.

Original question:
I need to mount an NFS volume that is 10G from a Sparc running Sunos
4.1.3.

I can make the mount, however the free and used disk space numbers are
wrong (when they are over 2G) is this going to cause me any problems?
Will I be able to read and write to this 10G NFS server without risk of
corrupting data?

If there is a problem, what can I do besides upgrade to solaris?

Thanks
