[SunHELP] Red Hat Linux/Solaris NFS incompatibility?

Our computer world was in order as long as we used an Ultra 10 running Solaris 8 
as NFS (and SAMBA) file server. When we switched to a PC running RH Linux 9 as 
file server, NFS continued to work. But the Solaris 8 (cluster patch installed) 
and 9 NFS clients are now over an order of magnitude too slow. The Linux NFS 
clients work fine. After days of following suggestions from various mailing 
lists, we unsuccessfully tried about every combination of options for the Linux 
NFS server and the Solaris NFS client. Our network uses fast Ethernet with a 
central switch (ZyXEL Prestige 600). Did we overlook a needed NFS patch for 
Solaris 8 or 9? What else could resolve this apparent RH/Solaris NFS 
incompatibility?

ThanX,
Reinhard
