We haven't had any real problems. On the client I do see some errors: # nfsstat -c Client Info: ... Rpc Info: TimedOut Invalid X Replies Retries Requests 26 0 162 508 405121 My thoughts are a bad cable or switch going to the NFS server, but I'm curious what others think. This happens on multiple NFS clients. (Well, I only found the PMAP_SHPGPERPROC entry on one.) The NFS server is FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE and the clients FreeBSD 4.10.
