I would appreciate {e|s}-mailed replies to the following question:

The Sun Microsystems Configuration Guide states that a "range of 1 to
20 client workstations per disk server" are permitted, and that with
"one 575-megabyte disk, 1 to 10 clients" are possible.

Our situation is that we have tried with a Sun-3/280, with two
SuperEagle 575-Mbytes disks (with a controller each), to configure
more that 10 clients.  But if we specify more that 10 file systems in
/etc/fstab, the system objects (I do not have the actual messages and
symptoms to hand).  We really do need to go beyond the 10 limit, and
with the amount of disk that we have, there should be no trouble going
as far as 20.

What are we missing in terms of parameters, or other things that need
to be established to be able to configure the file systems, and get
more than 10 diskless workstations operating on one Sun file server?

Any help would be appreciate (this question has also been passed
independently to Sun Microsystems, but we need an answer fast!)
