We have exported ClearCase VOB and views from a Solaris 2.6 system and
NFS mounted them on a RedHat 6.1 Linux client. We have been doing
builds and all is working. We even came up with a one line ksh alias
for the Linux side that does an rsh to the server to execute ClearCase
commands so that the developers have pretty much transparent access to
ClearCase.
Have not tried this with an HPUX box yet. The reverse is not good. We
have tried to export a file system from Linux and mount it on a Solaris
system. The mount completes, but we are not able to write to the
mounted file system. According to the Linux news threads, NFS serving is
broken for 2.x kernels, but should be fixed in kernel 2.2.14.
