So, from all the feedback I've been getting, it seems that the best
approach is to make sure that the FreeBSD server uses only NFS version
2. And for solaris clients, make sure they try to mount with
"vers=2". Any other gotchas?
Anyone know whether -current is better with NFS? (I realize that this
is the wrong list). Especially considering that we have every major
UNIX represented here as a NFS client?
Thanks for all the feedback. Any other suggestions?
I'll report back on how -stable worked as a NFS server with the other
unices.
