Hi,
I received various replies, from make sure you are
using nfsv3 (which i am) to others pointing out a flaw
on tru64 Unix v4.0(g). The latter goes like this::
- I've found that they sometimes show negative numbers
for drive space when a very large filesystem is NFS
mounted. My guess is that v4 used an integer that
wasn't large enough to account for that much disk
space.

- Looks like you are over a 32 bit limit.

Displaying the total blocks as Hex may give a clue:

   5465179252 145C00474
   1170211956 45C00474

[ tru64 Unix hehehe.... ]
