Patch-ID# 117176-01
Keywords: mount
Synopsis: SunOS 5.9_x86: mount Patch
Date: Aug/09/2004


*********************************************************

Patch 117176-01 has been re-instated on June 9, 2005.
Patch 117176-02 was withdrawn.

Reason:
After installing patch 117176-02, attempts to share a filesystem 
with multiple security options may fail.
 
If these failures occur, errors from `nfs_server` may appear 
in the system logs during bootup and entries from the system`s 
dfstab will be missing from the output of the `share` command.
 
Please refer BugID 6277307 for more information.

Recommendation:
For x86 systems that act as nfs file servers, patch 117176-02 
should be backed out, a reboot is only needed if entries in the 
dfstab are missing from the current output of the `share` command.

Alternatively, for x86 systems only, 117468-04 or above may 
be installed without backing out 117176-02.  If this alternative is 
chosen, the system must be immediately rebooted.
