Hello all,

now we are running our servers (Solaris) with openafs-1.2.6 but not with
namei interface.
I would like to change. And one of our servers is waiting for
migration.
I can remember that there was a CopyOnWrite bug.
Is it solved on Solaris 2.8 too?

Dear Hartmut, you wrote in your email:

Thank you for further information
