If there is any way you can avoid using AMD, I would :> avoid using AMD. :Late yesterday I was able to determine how amd was mounting the partitions, :and I was able to replicate it with a hand-mounted filesystem. I was in the :process of digging through NFS packets between 2 hosts when I made the :observation "Hey, this isn't UDP". I then hand mounted a filesytstem with :"mount_nfs -2T -r 8192 -w 8192 server:/path /mnt" ran my test, and it failed :) There are lots of areas of NFS that need work, and TCP is one of them. I think there is a fairly good chance that we can solve the TCP problems. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
