Yes, NFS client under -CURRENT has some problems. I run a 3.0-CURRENT system which is an NFS client of a Solaris 2.5.1 system. I have /usr/ports, /usr/src, /usr/obj and /usr/CTM (where I store my CTM deltas) NFS mounted from the Solaris box. (As you can see I'm trying to run FreeBSD in less than 500MB of disk space!!). With /usr/src and /usr/obj NFS mounted I have not been able to "make world". It usually fails when my log file of the make world output gets to about 1MB (7MB is a the output of "make world" with NOTCL). The freebsd-current list has mentioned several times that there are problems with both NFS client and server. I believe that Terry recently made some changes to the NFS server code so maybe thats not so bad. I read the cvs-all and freebsd-current list and am waiting for a mega commit that fixes NFS! - I'm not holding my breath though 8-) Possibly some of the problems I have seen (corruption of files) are related to the recent VM instability which seems to be almost fixed, so maybe I should try another NFS mounted make world.
