There were a lot of bug fixes after that release. I would start with version 3.0.14a. I've been using that version with ClearCase (although with Solaris 8). I would not use 3.0.20anything or even the latest 3.0.21b. It might be useful to see your smb.conf as well as your client MVFS settings. However, ClearCase is not within the scope of this mailing list. David> Clients for the most part are Windows XP and Windows 2003 David> Enterprise servers.
