Rick, Can you explain why a kernel reconfig would be required if the kernel configuration (e.g. GENERIC) hasn't been changed? http://www.freshbsd.org/?branch=RELENG_8&project=freebsd Possibly the commit site doesn't have the most recent commits? I guess what I'm asking is: why is a kernel reconfig required if only the NFS code itself changed? A buildworld/buildkernel should be sufficient, no? -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
