On a side note: I believe that Karl and I are one of the few ISP-like
environments trying to run -current with NFS. I've got no problem with
anyone who is trusted here to come on and test NFS related patches, or
experiment a bit on my server.

Seriously, most of the bugs can be reproduced by having /usr/src over NFS,
and doing the following:

cp /dev/zero /usr/src/blah &
make buildworld -j4

That will usually cause a different panic every time, within 2 minutes. :)


It is impossible for me to copy an 80MB core file across nfs on a -current
NFS client, and a 2.2.x server. I'm in no position to pay anyone to fix it,
and I'm really not complaining. :) I'm just offering anyone who wants to
watch a busy -current SMP server, with /home and /var/mail mounted across
NFS3, a free ticket. :)
