It's even funkier, since you said an 8.0 system, it should be nfsv4. Rick Maklem may be interested in your findings, on either freebsd-fs or in lig= ht of the upcoming release on freebsd-current. This is also a nice dilemma: nfsv4 is still wet behind the ears, but v2 should be considered deprecated. But - it is good to know that with all the new NFS code in 8.0, the v2 compat plays nice with Solaris v2. > Thanks for pointing out it seems to be a permissions error, I wouldn't > have headed down this route without that.
