How are you trying to use NFS?
Hi Nick, I think the problem is with FreeNAS and its portmap implementation. I am waiting for a new release of FreeNAS to see if it fixes the problem. I mount the music stored on the FreeNAS box via /etc/fstab. Interestingly VoyageMPD seems to have problems with high bit rate flac files ( 192K/24bit ) over cifs. There is a pause in the sound every second or so. The same server/directory mounted to fedora15 doesn't have the same issue. I wonder if there is some buffering parameters with cifs that I can experiment with. This is why I'm keen to get nfs working.
