V2 or V3 mounts? 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?
