I'm forwarding this to current@freebsd.org as I know many people are on
the list that live in multi-platform worlds.

Solaris 7 machines cannot use NFSv3 mounts from a FreeBSD NFS server.
When using NFSv2 the decrease in performance was very noticeable.  I was
wondering if anyone among FreeBSD developers is aware of this problem (I
am not implying that the problem might be on the FreeBSD side, it might
as well be a bug in solaris NFS implementation).  

I would greatly appreciate any help with the following problem.   I have
a FreeBSD NFS server (3.2-STABLE, built on Aug 3), and a Solaris 2.7
client.  I run into problems when trying to use NFSv3 mounts on the
client.   Trying to remove files from the mounted partition (on the nfs
client) results in multiple errors, for example:

    # rm -r /home/2/vladimir
    rm: Unable to remove directory /home/2/vladimir/CVS/blowup/c: File exists
    rm: Unable to remove directory /home/2/vladimir/CVS/blowup: File exists
    rm: Unable to remove directory /home/2/vladimir/CVS/useradd: File exists

I have tried using tcp and udp mount options with the same result.  NFSv2
works fine.

Solaris client has the latest patches applied.   I would very much appreciate 
any comments on that.
