Could this be a NFS error, or a FreeBSD error?

I have no recollection of the specifics of this -ie whether it was FreeBSDs NFS (at that time) or NFS more generally. If you don't get any other feedback, you might try contacting Matt Dillon (dillon@backplane.com?) to pick his brains - as I recall he has done some bug squashing in the NFS code. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
