What could cause this ? > First - I'm dying to know what application is only available for FreeBSD! (That's a good sign!) Second - when you say NFS mounts from an HP-UX system, do you mean HP-UX <-> LINUX or HP <-> FreeBSD? Third - I believe there were some NFS bugs in the 2.2.x branch that were not fixed. (Seems like I saw that mentioned on the -hackers list) When 3.1 comes out (next week?) you might consider upgrading to that. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
