Controls whether files with incorrect or negative time stamps should be made visible on the client.
Historically, neither the NFS client nor the NFS server would do any range checking on the file times being returned. The over-the-wire timestamp values are unsigned and 32-bits long. So, all values have been legal.
The timestamp values on the 64-bit Solaris kernel are signed and 64-bits long. It is impossible to determine whether a time field represents a full 32-bit time or a negative time, that is, a time prior to January 1, 1970.
It is impossible to determine whether to sign extend a time value when converting from 32 bits to 64 bits. The time value should be sign extended if the time value is truly a negative number. However, the time value should not be sign extended if it does truly represent a full 32-bit time value. This problem is resolved by simply disallowing full 32-bit time values.
Integer (32-bit)
0 (32-bit time stamps disabled)
0 (32-bit time stamps disabled) or 1 (32-bit time stamps enabled)
Boolean values
Yes
None
Even during normal operation, it is possible for the timestamp values on some files to be set very far in the future or very far in the past. If access to these files is preferred using NFS mounted file systems, set this parameter to 1 to allow the timestamp values to be passed through unchecked.
