I am guess that the > (6 * NFSX_UNSIGNED) is basically a NFS constant. Okay. I committed the fix to the length calculation to -current and -stable (I just love one-line patches that stop panics). I just got done patching my NFS server machines and they all seem to get along nicely with the SGI now. Now I can upgrade the other SGIs without worrying about them clobbering my FreeBSD machines. Hm. I wonder what would happen if the FreeBSD host was the client and the SGI was the server. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
