I've been having a problem for the last dozen or so kernels where a
filesystem mounted from a box running Unixware 2.03 gets an I/O error
writing the last bit of most files greater than 4096 bytes.
On the server end, I get the following message logged:
Nov 23 21:58:51 matrix unix: nfs_server: bad getargs
