Somebody (I don't remember who :exactly) told me that this was a known problem with the NFSv3 code; :reading over loopback mounts works fine, but writing apparently :results in deadlocks.

Since then there have been many NFS fixes committed. I have not tested running buildworld over a loopbacked NFS mount -- I'll do that today -- but I'd say there is a good chance that it will simply work. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
