Subject: Flag-Day: In-kernel Sharetab

My recent putback of

6371468 /etc/dfs/sharetab should be a mntfs style file
PSARC/2007/052 In-kernel Sharetab

constitutes a Flag-Day as "Cap-Eye Install" will not work with this change.

BFU was also modified to preserve the '/etc/dfs/sharetab' mount point.

We have had one minor problem  crop up  after the putback see CR 
6542481. The
'/etc/dfs/sharetab' mount point may not get correctly populated during 
the BFU
process. A fix is in progress.

There are two approaches to working arround the problem on a system. The 
first is for
a system that you are actively BFUing:

1) bfu
2) Inside the BFU shell:
    a) rm /etc/dfs/sharetab
    b) touch /etc/dfs/sharetab
3) acr
4) reboot

If you have a system which you have already BFUed, you can get share by:

 # touch /etc/dfs/sharetab
 # mount -F sharefs /etc/dfs/sharetab

If you experience any other problems with the sharing of NFS exports, 
please send email to myself: thomas.haynes at sun dot com.
