Howdy,

I am thinking of moving a fileserver from OpenBSD to FreeBSD because
both Samba and NFS seem unreliable for heavy duty access under OpenBSD
(backing up a win box causes a kernel panic after a few minutes, copying
any directory with more than about 50 entries causes the NFS server to
hang)... So I have two questions:

1 - Will FreeBSD be more reliable for this? Is it the best platform for
this out of the x86 unices? (try to be unbiased, please :-)

2 - It'll be a major pain for me to back up the /home partition, so I'm
wondering if I can just leave a slice on it, install FreeBSD on the rest
somehow, and then use that slice from FreeBSD transparently?

Thanks for reading,
