Actually, it's more like I am eager to upgrade but cannot afford at the moment to be stomped by NFS exec problems. I would prefer local caching of NFS executables anyway, but that's several steps away. Of course you are mainly referring to the problem triggered by vi, which as far as I know is still there... but what do I know about it, since I'm not running the latest (vm) kernel code. If someone can convince me and guarantee that the post-lite2 NFS exec panics are over, I'll upgrade and get this tested on my environment here (where vi is otherwise known to trigger this problem). -- Adam David
