But I have one severe problem: FreeBSD supports now NFS Version 3 which seems to be buggy. Especially using a FreeBSD machine as NFSV3 server and DEC-Alpha systems running Digital Unix as NFSV3 clients results in a very strange behaviour. I have no problem to mount file systems, there are no hangups or system crashes and at the first view everything seems to work. But if I do a 'ls' on a directory containg about 50 files or more I get an error message like .: Error 10003 occurred and the directory listing is incomplete and/or badly formatted. For small directories this seems to work, also if I force a NFSV2 mount. Access to the contents of regular files seem to work in both versions, but this I didn't test very much.
