NFS imports, on the client side appear to be losing data. When this occurs, I see .nfs78969 files on the server side. The program on the client side always freezes (top reports it's STAT as 'D'). This occurs regularly. I've tried nfsv3 and nfsv2. Read-only imports do not cause this freezing problem. The affected file often ends up being a size of 0. Are there some switches I should try? I assume (without testing) that 4-current would also show the same problems as 3-stable. Which is why I posted here. The server is 3-stable, clients are 3-stable. In fact, they share /usr, /bin, /sbin, /home and /var/db/pkg. Everything is read only except /home. I'd love to get this thing fixed if someone could point me in any direction at all...
