I should point out that FSX can be used against any filesystem, and that there are reports locally (at Apple) that it's great for killing FreeBSD machines. I wasn't able to reproduce this when I tried, but I may not have let it run long enough. > Oooh. Very cool!

Many of the key issues in making OS X NFS work were related to its interaction with the UBC and the subtly different VFS semantics, although the same issues probably exist in different form in the FreeBSD code. I get dragged into some really shocking corridor discussions every now and then. 8) = Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
