What problem are you having, rather than > just "goes to crap"? --- If for example you do a make buildworld or a kernel build (anything that uses a lot of ../.. to walk the dir structure) you will find that it is way slower than the same builds on local disk. The basic reason is that a ../.. walk invalidates cached metadata, and you end up with a pipe full of getattr's all of the time. Freebsd-fs has discussed this a bit, but no fixing is coming soon. We use linux to compile builds, we'd like to use Freebsd, but linux on Filers via NFS is about 3x faster than the same builds on Fbsd to the same filer. ../.. baby.
