ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
Some users on my Tru64 v5.0 system have been receiving the following:
NFS3 RFS3_FSSTAT failed for server netapp : RPC: Server can't decode
arguments
Apparently when they try to cd into a NFS mounted area. I've found that the
users in question were in more than 16 groups. I remember an NFS limitation
on how many groups users could be in. Is 16 the magic number?
SUMMARY:
Yes and no. The default magic number is 32. getconf NGROUPS_MAX shows you
what the limit is. However, the NFS server (a Network Appliance F520 filer
SW: v1.5.3), limits a user's groups to 16. Decreasing the problem user's
groups to under 16 alleviates this problem.
