"I would greatly appreciate information about this combination: 
"
"nfs server running solaris 2.6 (32 bit) and nfs client with solaris 2.8
"(64 bits)
"
"Are there any possible problems?
"
"I know both run NFS v3, and that 2.6 have largefile support... and
"maybe that the file size is limited to that of 32 bit... and also that
"running most 32 bit applications presents no problem on the 64 bit
"client.

nfsv3 and largefiles are all you need to know.  2.6 can handle files
larger than 2G.  if the server isn't running them, what those files
are doesn't matter.  they can be 64b 2.8 apps, if you wish.
