Previously the server used Fedora Core 3. I think like you that it is an interaction between client and server. For example we have a client machine running Debian Unstable which had NFS problems interacting FC3 server and still has with FC5 server. But i don't have any more with Fbsd-6.1. As to the problem of the machine freezing when the server freezes i have always seen that, both under Linux and FreeBSD, nothing new. The freeze seems to me less severe now, that is i have been able to log in root with the server down. The load on the server is rather big, we are talking around 100 machines having their home directories on the server. -- Michel TALON
