It turns out that we had a marginal ethernet cable, and replacing it has reduced the occurrence of such errors to once every few days (which is managable). The annoying thing was that the FreeBSD machine seemed to suffer a lot more from the fault than other machines around our network. I also found that NFSv2 rather than v3 seemed to work a bit better given the dodgy connection. Andrew BOGECHO wrote: > We have recently been moving more and more to FreeBSD.
