However, another interesting thing to try is: sysctl -w vfs.nfs.async=1 on the server. This is better (safer) than softupdates, but you *can* have data lossage, due to writes not being committed to disk. It is a good idea to have a UPS when using the above option. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
