We've been doing this for virtually all of our production systems (we're a large ISP) for almost 2 years. email (qmail), apache, news, .... All using V3/UDP NFS. Versions of FreeBSD mainly 2.2.5/2.2.6 and 3.3. Ontap most versions, currently mostly 5.3.2 in a cluster. Works great and we've never had NFS related problems. One caveat, FreeBSD doesn't support NFS file locking as a client (does as a server, I think). That said, we don't need/use it and you could easily argue that NFS file locking is broken as designed. -- Alan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
