In Sun-Spots Digest v7n304, forsyth@minster.york.ac.uk notes a bug in the NFS unlink case where the unlinked file is a FIFO special file. In 3.X versions of SunOS, this would usually case a kernel panic if the FIFO that is being unlinked is currently open (3.5 *may* have fixed this... don't know). You can be certain that this is fixed properly starting with 4.0. And the fix is in fact the correct one; a new vnode operation was added to return the real vnode pointer, VOP_REALVP(), to correctly get back to an NFS vnode that has an rnode attached. So all works well. Brian Berliner Prisma, Inc. berliner@prisma.com
