I've seen that behavior too.  My goal is have this work over ssh, as I am of=
ten accessing things remotely.  I want to be able do work on the freebsd sid=
e(read, write, move or delete files) without leaving nfs droppings all over m=
y filesystem.

Think more along the lines of active/active working hosts than as a backup  f=
ile repository.  I'm looking for least surprise when using the freebsd side.=
