At work, I was talking to a senior engineer at Netapp who looked at the FreeBSD NFS client code, and recommended that this very change be made for FreeBSD, i.e. replace ACCESS RPC calls with GETATTR RPC calls. ACCESS calls involve more work on the server for evaluating ACLS and UID mappings. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
