I'm wondering > if there is an NFS hacker who can work with me on this. as a workaround, have you tried: a) tcp mounts b) nfs 3 c) cvsup'ing to a new -current (there was some problems with signals being delivered during NFS activity in -release) at work, i'm a NFS client to a solaris box and 'a' and 'b' seems to have solved my hanging problems, i used to have a NFS hang for several minutes occasionally, going tcp helped that. (however i'm not using AMD) you also may want to look into the bugfixes that were done post-release i know those aren't _solutions_ but they may be able to help Alfred Perlstein - Programmer, HotJobs Inc. - www.hotjobs.com -- There are operating systems, and then there's FreeBSD. -- http://www.freebsd.org/ 3.0-current To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
