2013-10-11 Thread Rick Romero
So let me explain my environment - I have 1 FreeBSD 7.1 server, multiple Linux boxes, and a FreeBSD 9.0 server.  The 9.0 server is providing NFS3 mounts to all the other systems. I've built a remote VM (FreeBSD 9.1 offered by Hosting provider), and connected it to my network via OpenVPN.  I

Re: 9.1 VM nfs3 locks over VPN

2013-10-11 Thread Rick Romero
