Running -current on a NFS-server and several diskless clients attached to it (I like the silence at my desk), I get truncated files and NFS-writes with a lot of ^@^@^@^@^@ and some other garbage in it. The ^@^@^@^@^@-pages stuff seems to be reported as a kernel bug already. I tried several options: NFS-3/2, tcp/udp, hard/soft, (w/o) intr -- without success. At the time (src-cur.3702.gz/~12th Jan) even vi is not usable at all on the client side with a couple of files. Being very busy at the moment I don't have time to track this down myself.
