Today's world includes a lot of yesterday's world.
I'm still running a SunOS 4.1.4 machine. Yes, it does real (dusty
deck) work; I just had to resurrect it when its HDD died.
I got to rediscover its 2 GB maximum FILESYSTEM size.
(When the hardware finally craps out for real, I'll probably
punt to QEMU. But I either have to add SunOS system call
emulation to QEMU, or run the whole OS under hardware emulation.)
Anyway, most of its files are actually on a Linux NFS server
with a proper RAID and backup system.
I'd kind of like to keep NFSv2 working, if you don't mind.
("I do mind; install unfsd" is perhaps a legitimate response.)
