I have googled researched and read dozens and dozens of nfs bug reports where most of them seem to be a problem caused by nfs not disconnecting properly leaving itself in a bad state, the fix is usually to reboot. I am having to reboot weekly more often then my windows desktop pc, everyone else having no problems with the nfs on their linux servers having no problems and its hardly inspiring that the stable freebsd is not stable. All these problems on google didnt get fixed no dev attention etc. So far I have not got my local bsd box up and running yet due to no keyboard still need parts for it. Chris
