SLC & NFS: Bad News for fast IO

[Jay Naik]

I have a Sun/SLC, running Sun OS 4.1.1. I create large files (160,000
bytes/file), at the rate of about 5 files/minute. These files are created
on the local system disk and then written out over the network to another
client machine (sun 4/260).  My file system is frequently getting
corrupted, with duplicate inodes. The corrupted files are different each
time, with no clearly discernible pattern.

Could someone shed light on this mys(mess)tery? Any suggestions??
