Hello, I'd be curious to hear about any particular tweaking you need applying on NFS FreeBSD servers. I have used them for the past 8 years starting with 4.x at the time and now with a mix of 6.x 7x and 8.x and had not to tweak anything. I have found an interesting problem that i cannot explain though. If the server is installed at 64 bits, and you serve a mix of 32 and 64 bits clients, it crashes the server within a few days (typical throupout on one of these servers would be serving about 50G a day ,nothing really high). As soon as you switch to only 32 bits Linux clients, no more crash. Also Centos 64 bits linux clients (2.6.18+redhat patches) do not crash the server.
