Was using V3. I just remounted it using V2 and tried again: same
problem... cvs dumps core while chewing on .../src/usr.sbin/pkg_install.
Next I did this:
cd .../src/usr.sbin
cvs release pkg_install
# similar core dumping of cvs ensues, message like "cannot
# release module pkg_install". Grrrrr:
rm -r pkg_install
cvs checkout pkg_install
# success!
cvs update # update .../src/usr.sbin -> success!
cd ..
cvs update # update all source -> success!
Apparantly somewhere along the way something in the pkg_install source
files got corrupted enough to choke cvs. No way of doing more than
guessing as to the root cause...
Assuming I get both boxes running -STABLE, should I in general trust nfs
V3? Folks have been saying that there can be problems in heterogeneous
environments, but it is thought that V3 is working well between FreeBSD
boxes, correct?
Thanks!
