I know that BSDI 2.0 had some real NFS problems (escapes me now as to what they were). Is the NFS in FreeBSD just as stable as the SUN's ect.. We have just made a huge move to freeBSD but I have not had time to beat NFS.. I would expect it to be good because I know that one of the Big RAID NFS boxes that is out there is freeBSD based.. ----------------------------------------------------------- James 'J.D.'
