The 6.1-RELEASE client seems to work well. Yesterday i have upgraded my 6.0 (*) box to 6.1 and i have not seen a single NFS problem after that. Moreover i am using rpc.statd, and rpc.lockd and they work OK and are really functional. I have the following sysctl which may have an effect on the problem: vfs.nfs.access_cache_timeout=5 So it may well be that it is the FreeBSD NFS server code which has problems. (*) 6.0-RELEASE client definitively does not work OK for me. -- Michel TALON
