I've successfully installed 5.1-RELEASE (from CD) but want to rebuild the system to customise it to its environment. The machine in question does not have enough local disk space to hold both /usr/src and /usr/obj. When I tried to NFS mount the space, the 'make buildworld' would consistently wedge the machine in "stage 1: bootstrap tools" building games/fortune/strfile. I tried using local disk for /usr/obj and NFS mounting just /usr/src. This got somewhat further but again wedged the machine. "Wedged" means no response via network or local keyboard, needing reset to recover. Has anyone else seen NFS problems with 5.1-RELEASE? The client is a P-133 with 96MB RAM. The server is a PIII running roughly 4.6. They are both using 100baseTX full-duplex 802.1Q trunks to a common switch. My alternative (preferred) option is to do a build world/kernel on another faster machine (the NFS server used above). This fails with multiple definitions of _sigaction and _sigprocmask building libpthread. Looking back thru the archives, I gather this has been fixed in -CURRENT but it's not in RELENG_5_1 because it's not security-related. Any suggestions for a way forward? Peter
