Actually, the 3c503 can also run at 10 MBps. :-) It's even possible that the 3c509 has a poorer design (with its Rx FIFO) than the 3c503... but that wasn't what i'd like to say. > Also, the server and the client are using the same type of cards, Me too. > also, the server and the client are both running FreeBSD, Me too. > also, the FreeBSD 2.1.0 installation via the same situation works well. Neither do i remember that i had to use ``NFS slow'' previously. And it surprised me since i knew that my server is also as slow. That's why i mentioned it at all. > Jordan tald me that 2.2 is using a new RPC. I believe it works, but > the one in the installation must be have a bug that makes such painful. As Jordan also told you now, 2.2 has NFSv3, but that's not enabled by default, and the installation program doesn't attempt to use it. Of course, the RPC programs in the installation are the same as in the regular system, there's nothing magic behind sysinstall except that it ``crunches'' the normal binaries (like mount_nfs) into one large blurb. You can also see this as a ``special-purpose shared library'' binary. > Otherwise, how 2.1.0-RELEASE work fine, but 2.2 not? That's the question, and i was trying to tell you that, while i also noticed a slight change in the timing behaviour, i'm not even able to reproduce the *hangs* even with my rather slow target machine that i'm using for installation tests. So it is very unlikely that anybody of us is possible to track down *your* problems since *we* simply don't see it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
