I've had a *lot* of trouble with NFS since 2.4. It's gotten better in newer kernels, but it's still terrible. My machines no longer lock up totally, but after a short period of heavy load, they go funny and data 'disappears' as far as the client can see. Quite frankly, I'm thinking of going Coda, or even SMB, despite not even having Windows, as it's easier to set up. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd.
