[Summary-Talk] Summary under NFS / Solaris 9

[Jeff McCombs <jeffm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gang,

    Has anyone managed to get Summary to work while residing on a NFS
mounted partition? When I try, I get the following:

jeffm@install(pts/3):~/summary2.5.1> ./summary -P

Segmentation fault (core dumped)


I'm assuming this is due to fcntl() style file locks, as evidenced from a
truss output:

<about 100 lines skipped>

Reason I'd like to do this over NFS, is because the system that processes
the logs is limited in disk space, while our NFS server has about 500 GB
free...

Summary is being run from a Sun V210 running Solaris 9. NFS server is a
clustered (active/passive) pair of Sun V480's running Solaris 9 and 
Veritas
HA VxFS/VxVM.
