Howdy,

We've been digging into an interesting possible issue in the FreeBSD NFS =

client.  Here is the scenario.  I have a FreeBSD VM on my Mac, the Mac =

is the NFS server, the VM is the client.  I then attempt to build an out =

of tree kernel module that I'm working on.  The build looks like it's =

hanging for 1.5 seconds, and when we look at the packets (pcap file =

attached) we see a ton of GETATTRs over the first 1.5 seconds.  I've put =

the pcap up here: =

[oct_8_2024.pcapng](https://people.freebsd.org/~gnn/oct_8_2024.pcapng)

I also note that an issue was raised on the forums that seems similar, =

way back between FreeBSD 10 and 11:

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/nfs-cache-misses-after-upgrading-to-11=
-1-from-10-3.65491/

I'm seeing this on 15 currentish (last few months).

Best,
George
